Description
In this thesis, I will explore the current organ donation process including organ
matching, pre-transplant assessments and allocation of organs. In addition, I will discuss
ethical principles that can be used to aid transplant teams in the difficult task of allocating of
organs. I will also evaluate alternative options to the current transplant process such as an
opt-out vs. an opt-in system and controlled financial payment for organs. Finally, I will
analyze current policies regarding living donors and suggest avenues for future research into
alternative resources for organs.
