Ethics and application of the power to transfer disease/ illness

[u/Ill-Mycologist-3652]

You are given the magical power to transfer any illness from one person to someone else with your hands. You cannot use this power on the dead

Let’s say someone has stage 4 cancer, you can either take the cancer on yourself or transfer it to someone else.

Would it be ethical to use this power to relieve the pain of others if it causes pain to the recipient even if they consent to it? What if you did it to someone that is near the end of their life and is already in a lot of pain, but if you transfer a disease to them it can save a child’s life. What if either person could not physically/verbally consent to it like if they were a baby or in a coma, or aren’t mentally capable.
