Abstract:
One of the main obstacles of organ transplantation all over the world is the insufficient number of available cadaveric organs. Various attempts are considered to increase the consent rate. Financial incentives as a possibility to raise the number of procured organs is a very controversial topic. Arguments for and against financial incentives are presented as well as the different models.
