Organs for transplantation. The Singapore experience

¹Yarra Theological Union, Melbourne, Australia.

|November 1, 1991

Abstract:

Singapore's Human Organ Transplant Act presumes that competent adults consent to donate their kidneys in the event of a fatal accident, unless they have refused in writing. No family consent is required. What can other countries wishing to implement a presumed-consent model of organ donation learn from Singapore's experience?
