Progress in the field of organs and tissues transplantation contributes today to saving lives and improving their quality. Consequently, the increasing need of organs and tissues and their constant shortage give rise financial benefits and commercial risks. Several European countries have tasted in one or another way organ trading. These ethical and legal important problems implicated preventive measures in European countries and in the whole world. Since 1986, Belgium has a national legislation which forbids in every forms, organs and tissues commerce. In addition, an item imposes penalties in this connection. Meanwhile different international organisations established acts, recommendations and resolutions preventing purchase and sale of human organs and tissues.
器官和组织移植领域的进展如今有助于挽救生命并提高生活质量。因此，对器官和组织的需求不断增加以及其持续短缺引发了经济利益和商业风险。几个欧洲国家都曾以某种方式涉足器官交易。这些重要的伦理和法律问题促使欧洲国家乃至全世界采取预防措施。自1986年以来，比利时有一项国家立法，禁止任何形式的器官和组织交易。此外，还有一项条款对此进行处罚。与此同时，不同的国际组织制定了相关法案、建议和决议，以防止人体器官和组织的买卖。
