Next of kin play an important role in organ donation. The aim of this study was to assess the extent to which explicitness of consent to organ donation by the deceased impacts the likelihood that next of kin will agree to organ donation of the deceased by using hypothetical cases. Results indicate that that people say they are more willing to agree to donate organs of those who explicitly consented to donate than those whose permission to donate is presumed. The degree of explicitness for the consent to donate by the deceased appears to influence the next of kin's decision about whether to agree to donation. This variation might explain the absence of differences in efficiency between various types of consent systems.
在器官捐赠中,近亲扮演着重要的角色。本研究旨在通过假设案例评估死者明确表示同意捐赠器官对近亲同意死者器官捐赠的可能性的影响。结果表明,人们表示更愿意同意捐赠那些明确表示同意捐赠的人的器官,而不是那些假定同意捐赠的人的器官。死者同意捐赠的明确程度似乎影响了近亲是否同意捐赠的决定。这种差异可能解释了各种同意制度之间在效率上没有差异的原因。
