Abstract

The difference between supply and demand of transplantable organs is a global problem, and one of the most discussed measures aiming to solve it is the implementation of a presumed consent (opt-out) policy in cadaveric organ donation. This type of system is controversial when it comes to its direct effects on organ donation rates as well as its ethical base. We aim to present the latest perspectives concerning the ethical implications of the policy, especially regarding consent: its need, the coherence of presuming it and the policy’s capacity to fulfill its requirements. From a community perspective, we advocate a default change in societies with an opt-out system, with a strong population education in that direction. The potential rights of family objection are also approached as well as the differences between theoretical discussion and concrete application of public policy.

器官捐献的推定同意:一个不连贯的理由
可移植器官的供需差异是一个全球性问题,旨在解决这一问题的最受讨论的措施之一是在尸体器官捐赠中实施推定同意(选择退出)政策。当涉及到对器官捐献率的直接影响及其道德基础时,这种类型的系统是有争议的。我们的目标是介绍有关该政策的伦理影响的最新观点,特别是关于同意:它的需求、假设的一致性以及政策满足其要求的能力。从社区的角度来看,我们主张在选择退出制度的社会中进行默认的变革,并在这个方向上进行强有力的人口教育。还探讨了家庭反对的潜在权利,以及理论讨论与公共政策具体应用之间的差异。
