Organ transplantation, and living donor organ transplantation in particular, could not occur without society s trust in medicine and in transplant programs. This paper explains the importance of that trust and shows how the concept can be used to define the moral requirements for structuring organ transplant programs. The discussion goes on to outline what a trustworthy program must be, and to provide a conceptual perspective for drawing lines and setting boundaries for ethically acceptable living donor transplantation. It also explains the morally relevant considerations for accepting emotionally related or unrelated living donors.
器官移植,尤其是活体捐赠者器官移植,如果没有社会对医学和移植项目的信任,是不可能实现的。本文解释了这种信任的重要性,并展示了如何利用这一概念来界定构建器官移植项目的道德要求。讨论进而概述了一个值得信赖的项目必须具备的条件,并为划定符合伦理道德的活体捐赠移植的界限和范围提供了一个概念性视角。它还解释了在接受有情感关联或无情感关联的活体捐赠者时在道德方面的相关考量。
