A decision-rule for transplanting non-cadaveric organs

This paper conceptually analyzes the minimum probability of success required for transplanting non-cadaveric organs, its relationship with the initial, and possible rates of change in the, quality-adjusted life-years of the recipient and donor and its relationship with the expected medical

Probability Model of Decision Making for Successful Transplantation of Non-Cadaveric Organs (RESEARCH NOTE)

Mathematical modeling based on a probabilistic approach for making decisions for organ transplantation can be successfully employed in cases when the choice of decisions can affect the results produced. In this study, the minimum probability of success required for organ transplantion in case of multi-donors is determined. The governing equations are constructed in terms of probabilities and so...

A matter of priority: transplanting organs preferentially to registered donors.

Market and non-market mechanisms for procuring human and cadaveric organs: when the price is right.

Do the sick have a right to cadaveric organs?

One way of increasing the supply of organs for transplantation is to adopt a policy giving the sick a right to cadaveric organs. Such a right would entail the coercive transfer of organs from the dead without their previous consent. Because this policy would violate individual autonomy and the special relation between humans and their bodies, it would be morally unjustifiable. Although a rights...
