Abstract

Three decades after the first heart transplant surgery stunned the world, organs including eyes, lungs, livers, kidneys, and hearts are transplanted every day. But despite its routine nature -- or perhaps because of it -- transplantation offers enormous ethical challenges. A medical ethicist who has been involved in the organ transplant debate for many years, Robert M. Veatch offers the first complete and systematic account of the ethical and policy controversies surrounding organ transplants.Veatch structures his discussion around three major topics: the definition of death, the procurement of organs, and the allocation of organs. He addresses both fundamental questions and recently emerging issues, offering his own solutions in many instances.Rich with case studies and written in an accessible style, this comprehensive reference is intended for a broad cross section of people interested in the ethics of transplantation from either the medical or public policy perspective: patients and their relatives, transplantation professionals, other health care professionals and administrators, members of organ procurement organizations, and government officials involved in the regulation of transplants. Transplantation of organs offers difficult ethical challenges to the medical profession. In this study, debate is structured around three major topics: the definition of death and the procurement and allocation of organs. It offers both commentary and solutions for recent issues.

Abstract

"Au cours de ses réflexions sur la transplantation, dans sa dimension à la fois technique et sociale, Sylviane Agacinski souligne l'ambiguïté d'une pratique médicale qui sauve de nombreuses vies mais crée aussi une "demande d'organes" : comment y répondre ? D'abord, soutient l'auteur, en protégeant le corps des vivants face aux ultralibéraux, partisans d'un marché légal des organes, et aux trafiquants dont les miséreux et les réfugiés sont victimes, lorsque les États laissent faire. Ensuite, en privilégiant le don de soi post mortem, librement consenti, plutôt qu'en maintenant le stratagème du "consentement présumé du défunt". Sylviane Agacinski s'appuie ici sur Marcel Mauss pour en appeler à une société solidaire, dans laquelle chacun peut à son tour recevoir ou donner et, quelquefois, transmettre la vie par-delà la mort."

Abstract

Bioethicists, moral philosophers and social policy analysts have long debated about how we should decide who shall be saved with scarce, lifesaving resources when not all can be saved. It is often claimed that it is fairer to save younger persons and that age is an ethically relevant consideration in such tragic decisions. Medical benefit should be maximized and final selection should aim to minimize the contaminating influence of chance. These claims are challenged by Duff R. Waring in Medical Benefit and the Human Lottery, one of the few books that attempts a sustained defence of random patient selection. This book combines ethics and political philosophy in its novel and strict egalitarian approach to patient selection for transplantable organs. Waring addresses the question of whether we should choose between lives on the basis of fair chances or best outcomes. He argues that final selection criteria should be based on fair chances that equalize opportunity as opposed to best outcomes. His defence of "hardy" egalitarianism aims to show that random selection by lottery can affirm both a common humanity and the equal value of lives. In so doing, Waring argues that we give the principle of equal concern and respect a radical expression: above a noncomparative threshold of medical benefit, each candidate can have an equal claim to life. The notion of patient selection by lottery has not fared well in bioethics and has been regarded by some as a moral affront. Waring argues that a human selection lottery may be neither as crude nor as ethically anomalous as some have supposed. Indeed, it can reflect a familiar conception of equality as a political and moral ideal. This conception abstracts from many undeniable differences between patients and claims that scarce resources should be allocated on the principled assumption that each of their lives is equally worth saving. The book is also notable for its critiques of some recent utilitarian notions of medical benefit which can have an age-biased impact on elderly patients. Waring then argues against the leading, contemporary age-based approaches to patient selection.He explores the way random selection by lottery can affirm his egalitarian ethos in cases where eligible transplant candidates have each passed a threshold level of prospective medical benefit that has been set by democratic deliberation. Taming chance with a human lottery is defended as the most lucid means of ensuring equal opportunity.

Abstract

Organ transplantation is an essential element of treatment for a wide range of diseases, but despite increasing surgical success rates there remain many other issues affecting selection of patients and clinical outcome with which clinicians and patients themselves must be familiar. Originally published in 2000, this book reviews psychosocial, psychiatric and ethical aspects of organ transplantation in a uniquely authoritative way. Drawing heavily on the pioneering work of the Pittsburgh transplant team, it surveys the essentials of transplantation biology before engaging with a range of topics fundamental to the success of the procedure and the quality of life of recipients and donors alike. The interdisciplinary approach and the authority of the contributors will make this book of value to anyone with an interest in organ transplantation procedures.

Abstract

En 2008, en France, 222 patients sont décédés faute d'avoir reçu un greffon à temps, alors que seulement 4 620 greffes avaient été réalisées pour 13 687 personnes en attente. La pénurie est particulièrement aiguë pour les malades qui ont besoin d'un rein : on compte en moyenne seulement 1 greffon disponible pour 3 malades. Cette situation est assez générale en Europe, mais moins grave dans certains pays qui ont su développer, de différentes manières, une plus grande mobilisation des deux sources de greffons : les donneurs décédés et les donneurs vivants. Le séminaire qui s'est tenu à Paris les 6 et 7 mai 2009 s'est proposé de contribuer à la réflexion des autorités en charge de la révision des lois de bioéthique ainsi que, plus généralement, des milieux médicaux et de l'opinion publique, en apportant un éclairage européen sur les solutions possibles au déficit constaté. Des personnalités faisant autorité - médecins et chirurgiens, mais aussi juristes, sociologues, philosophes et responsables administratifs venant d'Allemagne, d'Espagne, d'Italie, de Grande-Bretagne, de Norvège, des Pays-Bas et de Suède - ont été invitées à présenter leurs expériences et à débattre des aspects éthiques associés, en présence de leurs homologues français et de responsables politiques. Cet ouvrage transcrit les interventions et les débats, souvent vifs, qui les ont suivies. Penser la greffe aujourd'hui, c'est l'envisager à travers les enjeux de la société. Face aux certitudes médicales, chaque individu perçoit des incertitudes éthiques. Les défis de la science imposent la transparence, garantie d'une " nouvelle démocratie ". La greffe apparaît alors ambivalente, dans son fondement philosophique, juridique et social, comme dans sa pratique chirurgicale. Faut-il parler de don altruiste ou d'échange réciproque à propos des " éléments et produits du corps humain " ? Dans le cas d'un prélèvement sur une personne décédée, la mort devient-elle " utile " parce qu'utilisée ? S'agit-il de mutiler pour réparer, ou de reconstruire l'homme et de repousser ainsi les limites de la vie ? Sur le terrain, le nombre important des refus de prélèvements induit-il vraiment une " pénurie " d'organes ? Faut-il l'attribuer au manque d'information du public, à la méfiance à l'égard des médecins, à l'attachement à des valeurs personnelles, aux droits des familles, à l'incontournable présence de l'Etat ? Le législateur, depuis l'élaboration des lois de bioéthique jusqu'à leur application réglementaire encore inachevée, a tenté de réaliser un cadre protecteur pour la personne humaine. Y est-il parvenu ? Ces débats d'idées ainsi que les résultats inattendus de la première enquête nationale sur le don d'organes constituent le point le plus complet à ce jour sur le sujet du prélèvement et de la greffe. Ce livre est né de la volonté d'éclairer les citoyens et d'attirer l'attention des politiques sur ce constat : la greffe existe, elle se doit de rester humaine.
