Kidney procurement policies in the eurotransplant region : 'opting in' versus 'opting out'.
SOCIAL SCIENCE AND MEDICINE, vol. 35, n° 2, 1992, pages 177-182, 16 réf., ISSN 0277-9536, USA
A shortage of kidneys has been part of kidney transplantation ever since it evolved from its experimental stage and became a therapeutic possibility.
However, at present this shortage is more acute than ever before.
Post mortem kidney procurement policies can be distinguished into « opting in » and « opting out » systems.
In the five countries cooperating in Eurotransplant, systems of both kind have been implemented.
In this paper the relation between these procurement policies and kidney availability in the Eurotransplant region is examined.
The opting out system turns out to be more favourable to kidney procurement than the opting in system.
