This paper is based on consideration of the ethical issues surrounding organ donation. This emotive subject has far-reaching implications concerning both donation and transplantation but the purpose in this paper is to deal specifically with issues related to cadaveric organ donation and how they concern nurses in an intensive care unit (ICU). A brief, general description of both ethics and organ donation is followed by a discussion of the issues surrounding the donor himself, including the diagnosis of brainstem death, the donor's family, and the nursing and medical implications. Legal, social and economic factors are considered with the aim of highlighting ethical areas but not necessarily providing answers to the questions raised.
本文基于对围绕器官捐赠的伦理问题的思考。这个充满情感的主题在捐赠和移植方面都有着深远的影响，但本文的目的是专门探讨与尸体器官捐赠相关的问题，以及这些问题在重症监护病房（ICU）中与护士的关联。在对伦理和器官捐赠进行简要的总体描述之后，将讨论围绕捐赠者本身的问题，包括脑干死亡的诊断、捐赠者的家属以及护理和医学方面的影响。还会考虑法律、社会和经济因素，目的是突出伦理领域，但不一定对所提出的问题提供答案。
