Abstract:
The number of organ donations in Germany has continuously fallen in recent years. The proposed Transplantation Act stipulates that every German citizen is considered an organ donor if he/she has not objected during his/her lifetime. This proposal has received wide approval, but also much criticism. The German Society for Urology, the German Society for Surgery, the German Society for Nephrology and the German Transplantation Society have all spoken out in press releases in favor of the introduction of an opt out (presumed consent) solution. The German Bundestag will decide on the proposed bill in autumn.
