This study first examines the ethical and legal aspects of various regulations that govern the procurement and transplantation of organs in 16 countries of Latin America, and reviews the declarations formulated on the subject by the World Health Organization. It then goes on to discuss specific problems concerning postmortem and inter vivo organ donations. The issues cited in connection with the former include donor consent, determination of death, and conflicts of interest on the part of persons involved in donation procedures. The latter refer to such issues as donor consent and compensation, selection of the recipient and commercialization, as well as the international exchange of organs. It is concluded that these countries need to develop more comprehensive government legislations in order to ensure solution of the problems analyzed.
本研究首先审视了拉丁美洲16个国家有关器官获取与移植的各项法规的伦理和法律层面，并回顾了世界卫生组织就该主题发布的声明。接着，探讨了有关死后器官捐赠和活体器官捐赠的具体问题。与前者相关的问题包括捐赠者同意、死亡判定以及参与捐赠程序人员的利益冲突。后者涉及诸如捐赠者同意与补偿、受赠者选择与商业化以及器官的国际交换等问题。研究得出结论，这些国家需要制定更全面的政府立法，以确保所分析的问题得到解决。
