According to Law 91/1999, art. 18, in Italy, health care professionals and administrative staff involved in the process of organ collection and transplantation are required to ensure anonymity of both the donor and the recipient. Against this backdrop, in 2018, the Italian Committee for Bioethics (ICB) released an official opinion titled "Opinion on the preservation of the anonymity of donor and receiver in the transplantation of organs" that offers a new perspective on the topic, effectively opening the possibility of anonymity ending at certain conditions. The relevance of anonymity within the transplant network is a globally recognized principle with a strong ethical value. In this article, based on the experience of one author directly involved in the ICB opinion drafting, we examine the document and discuss how such a proposal could be implemented at the legislative level.
根据意大利第91/1999号法律第18条规定，在意大利，参与器官采集和移植过程的医护人员及行政人员必须确保捐赠者和接受者的身份均不被泄露。在此背景下，2018年，意大利生物伦理委员会（ICB）发布了一份官方意见，题为《关于器官移植中捐赠者和接受者匿名性保护的意见》，该意见为这一话题提供了新的视角，实际上开启了在某些条件下匿名性可能终止的可能性。移植网络中匿名性的相关性是一项全球公认的原则，具有很强的伦理价值。在本文中，基于一位直接参与ICB意见起草的作者的经验，我们对该文件进行审视，并讨论这样的提议如何在立法层面得以实施。
