Abstract

We report on living kidney donation from a prison inmate on death row. Thirty years ago we were involved in an unusual set of circumstances that we assumed would never arise again. That assumption is incorrect as a current death row inmate wishes to be a living kidney donor and we speak now to describe the lessons learned and to help others. This report is focused on living donation, excluding posthumous donation, and discusses the ethical, legal, medical and logistic considerations underpinning prisoner donation for both the general prison population and death row inmates. We believe inmates on death row can be considered as living organ donors and the ethical, logistic and medical hurdles surmounted to enable donation. This experience with death row inmates should serve to encourage donation from the general prison population.

期刊介绍: The American Journal of Transplantation is a leading journal in the field of transplantation. It serves as a forum for debate and reassessment, an agent of change, and a major platform for promoting understanding, improving results, and advancing science. Published monthly, it provides an essential resource for researchers and clinicians worldwide. The journal publishes original articles, case reports, invited reviews, letters to the editor, critical reviews, news features, consensus documents, and guidelines over 12 issues a year. It covers all major subject areas in transplantation, including thoracic (heart, lung), abdominal (kidney, liver, pancreas, islets), tissue and stem cell transplantation, organ and tissue donation and preservation, tissue injury, repair, inflammation, and aging, histocompatibility, drugs and pharmacology, graft survival, and prevention of graft dysfunction and failure. It also explores ethical and social issues in the field.
