All books in this flagship series contain carefully selected substantial extracts from key cases, legislation, and academic debate, providing students with a stand-alone resource. This chapter discusses organ transplantation. It first considers cadaveric donation, looking at who may become a donor, and which organs can be taken. It also includes discussion of the issues raised by novel transplants, like face and uterus transplantation. The chapter summarizes the system of organ retrieval in the UK, looking at the consent-based model adopted in the Human Tissue Act 2004; the introduction of an opt-out system in Wales, and the government’s plan to introduce a similar system in England. It then turns to living organ donation, looking at informed consent and the legitimacy, or otherwise, of incentives. Finally, it considers the ethical, practical, and legal obstacles to xenotransplantation, i.e. transplanting animal organs into human recipients.

Abstract This special thematic issue of The Journal of Medicine and Philosophy brings together a cross-cultural set of scholars from Asia, Europe, and North America critically to explore foundational questions of familial authority and the implications of such findings for organ procurement policies designed to increase access to transplantation. The substantial disparity between the available supply of human organs and demand for organ transplantation creates significant pressure to manipulate public policy to increase organ procurement. As the articles in this issue explore, however, even if well intentioned, the desire to maximize organ procurement does not justify undermining foundational elements of human flourishing, such as the family. While defending at times quite different understandings of autonomy, informed consent, and familial authority, each author makes clear that a principled appreciation of the family is necessary. Otherwise, health care practice will treat the family in a cynical and instrumental fashion unlikely to support social or individual good.

AbstractAs organ transplantation procedures become accepted as standard medical practice, it is anticipated that the frequency of liability claims against transplant care providers will increase. This article examines current statutory and common law analyses of malpractice issues in transplantation, with particular attention given to issues of informed consent as they arise both for the organ donor and donee.
