Beyond the Altruistic Donor: Embedding Solidarity in Organ Procurement Policies

María Victoria Martínez-López Gonzalo Díaz-Cobacho Belén Liedo Jon Rueda Alberto Molina-Pérez

Abstrak

Altruism and solidarity are concepts that are closely related to organ donation for transplantation. On the one hand, they are typically used for encouraging people to donate. On the other hand, they also underpin the regulations in force in each country to different extents. They are often used indistinctly and equivocally, despite the different ethical implications of each concept. This paper aims to clarify to what extent we can speak of altruism and solidarity in the predominant models of organ donation. It also raises the ethical question of whether these categories are adequate as a basis for such models, bearing in mind that organs are a scarce resource and that a shortage of them may mean that fewer lives are saved or improved.
