“…Stated otherwise, 'If human lives are to be saved, the agony of hard choices cannot be avoided. ' 108 In the final analysis, then, a price-economic, social, legal, ethical, moral or religious -must be set in determining the allocative process for organ retrieval and transplantation; and market mechanisms would appear to be the most functional and objective tool for achieving this. Forced altruism, nurtured as such through the pursuit of lofty educational goals, does not have a practical history for dealing with the problems of the day.…”

Market and Non-Market Mechanisms for Procuring Human and Cadaveric Organs: When the Price is Right

In the United States, as well as throughout the world, current demands for organ transplants far exceed the actual supply. Nonconsensual human donations, taken from minors, incompetents and prisoners are regulated carefully by the courts. The Uniform Anatomical Gift Act and the National Organ Transplant Act serve also as statutory frameworks for organ retrievals and allocations and place various restrictions upon each. Altruistically motivated donations at death continue to be an inadequate mechanism for meeting the growing demands of the market. Included among the various approaches to resolving the critical shortage of human organs for transplantation are post mortem harvesting, escheatage, prospective contingent sales and standard death benefit payments — with the latter being perhaps the most attractive in the United States. While ethical and moral principles can help develop a construct for resolving harvesting and transplantation conflicts, they must be tempered — in the final analysis — by a standard of practical need that recognizes unnecessary suffering and premature death from diseased and replaceable organs as undesirable.

“…In 1968, Dukeminier said, "Society must face the fact that cadaveric organs can save human lives, perhaps their own. To achieve this goal requires the decision to advance in the policy of preserving life, or to remain paralyzed by its taboos" [63].…”

People easily agree with the principle of organ donation; nevertheless, when a person dies, their relatives often refuse to honour this agreement. Because of this persistent social conduct, organ shortage is responsible for the rising mortality of patients on organ waiting lists. This sad reality continues despite the ongoing education effort with the enduring slogan: “Organ donation is a gift of life”.

“…Esta inversión se refiere a la obligación del sujeto que prima facie es considerado como donante, a acercarse a una entidad pública para manifestar su negativa en seguírsele considerando como tal. En consecuencia, la regla para este tipo de consentimiento descansa en la idea que, si una persona desea ser donante, se le considerará como tal por su aceptación tácita al no recurrir a una entidad para manifestar lo contrario (Dukeminier, 1970).…”

En el presente artículo, los autores abordan la problemática relacionada al número reducido de donaciones de órganos y tejidos en el Perú. A partir de una revisión estadística, se constata que el índice de donaciones de órganos y tejidos es inferior en comparación a otros países de la región, mientras que la demanda de pacientes es superior a la cantidad de órganos disponibles. En ese sentido, desde la óptica constitucional y económica, los autores desarrollan la viabilidad de implementar una política pública que postule la sustitución del consentimiento informado por el presunto tácito. Para ello, primero, estudian las categorías jurídicas involucradas, sus tratamientos jurídicos, etc. Segundo, analizan el contexto actual de la donación de órganos en el país-falencias en el funcionamiento, ausencia de regulación, etc. Finalmente, analizan la necesidad y viabilidad jurídica de formular e implementar un cambio en el paradigma de la regulación de las donaciones que tenga como eje central la adopción del consentimiento presunto.
