In Japan, pediatric organ donation began with a 2009 amendment to the law that removed age restrictions. Recently, the number of pediatric organ donations has increased because of the clarification of procedures to exclude the possibility of abuse, development of acute pediatric care, and promotion of discussions with families through greater recognition of organ donation among medical professionals. Organ transplantation is important based on cost effectiveness. Organ donation is an option if families and medical staff collaborate to provide optimal end-of-life care.
在日本，小儿器官捐赠始于2009年的一项法律修正案，该修正案取消了年龄限制。最近，由于明确了排除滥用可能性的程序、小儿急性护理的发展以及通过医疗专业人员对器官捐赠的更多认可促进了与家庭的讨论，小儿器官捐赠的数量有所增加。基于成本效益，器官移植很重要。如果家庭和医务人员合作提供最佳的临终护理，器官捐赠是一种选择。
