Organ transplantation is perhaps one area in which scientists have accomplished stunning outcomes in the 21 century. Nonetheless, the shortage of organs remains a major challenge of medical science, and worldwide, thousands of human organs are buried every day, especially from cerebrum-dead-injury victims. Using a method of philosophical analysis, this viewpoint study contends that the root cause of organ shortage is the dependence solely on altruistic organ donations. The unselfish organ donation is good, yet it is not enough. To close the gap between the demand and supply of organs, steps need to be taken to improve the organ donation pool. The Victor Vroom's expectancy theory, if applied, could expand the organ donor pool for transplantation.
器官移植或许是科学家们在 21 世纪取得惊人成果的领域之一。尽管如此,器官短缺仍然是医学科学面临的主要挑战,在全球范围内,每天都有数千个人体器官被埋葬,尤其是脑死亡损伤的受害者。本观点研究采用哲学分析方法,认为器官短缺的根本原因是仅仅依赖于利他主义的器官捐献。无私的器官捐献固然很好,但还不够。为了缩小器官需求和供应之间的差距,需要采取措施来增加器官捐献池。如果应用维克多·弗鲁姆的期望理论,可以扩大器官移植的捐赠者群体。
