How this is dealt with in practice reveals much about the state and nature of social solidarity; the changing legitimacy and scope of projects of social engineering via the law, and thereby the changing nature of the citizen-state relationship; the legitimacy of state intervention in mourning situations and state discretion in the use of corpses; and recent modifications of the status of medical professionals as figures of authority and agents of state policy. This title will be a valuable resource for researchers, academics, policy-makers and practitioners with an interest in this complex and topical subject. This volume draws on the French experience to examine the on-going international debate surrounding organ procurement. Commentators have tried to explain the dramatic differences in procurement rates in different countries in terms of legal variables, highlighting the variety of legal systems regulating consent. The general assumption has been that Presumed Consent (opting-out) systems produce better results than Express Consent (opting-in) systems. This study uses the French case to challenge this widely held assumption. The author argues that the French presumed consent systems coexist with patterns of behaviour that in practice do not mobilize the law. It is suggested that cultural, contextual and relational factors explain differences between procurement rates rather than the legal ones. The book explores four areas that are key to current research in socio-legal studies: presumed consent systems to organ donation assume generosity between anonymous citizens.

The last few years have witnessed an important expansion in the collection and processing of human biological samples and related information data. Biobanks - huge repositories of human biological specimens - have a strategic importance for genetic research, clinical care, and future treatments. However, biobanks are facing many major ethical, legal, and governance challenges, including informed consent, privacy, ownership, commercialization, and harmonization. In addition, forensic DNA-databases raise specific issues. These databases can be an important tool for the police services in their search for the perpetrator of a crime, yet this raises ethical questions with regard to the relationship between liberty and security. This book - a publication of the European Commission funded research project GeneBanC - offers a rich source of material on the ethical, legal, and governance aspects of clinical biobanks, population biobanks, and forensic biobanks. It's research will be of interest to policy makers, academics, and legislators.

More than any other altruistic gesture, blood and organ donation exemplifies the true spirit of self-sacrifice. Donors literally give of themselves for no reward so that the life of an individual-often anonymous-may be spared. But as the demand for blood and organs has grown, the value of a system that depends solely on gifts has been called into question, and the possibility has surfaced that donors might be supplemented or replaced by paid suppliers. Last Best Gifts offers a fresh perspective on this ethical dilemma by examining the social organization of blood and organ donation in Europe and the United States. Gifts of blood and organs are not given everywhere in the same way or to the same extent-contrasts that allow Kieran Healy to uncover the pivotal role that institutions play in fashioning the contexts for donations. Procurement organizations, he shows, sustain altruism by providing opportunities to give and by producing public accounts of what giving means. In the end, Healy suggests, successful systems rest on the fairness of the exchange, rather than the purity of a donor's altruism or the size of a financial incentive.
