“…Therefore, it is fundamental to investigate the attitude of population about this matter ( 18 ). In this sense, personnel from transplant-related units are fundamental and should be involved in the matter, given that they are influential groups for the public and therefore could affect the decisions made by potential donors ( 6 , 7 , 19 , 20 ). The data from this study showed that there was a favorable predisposition for attitude toward LLD among personnel of units related to organ donation and transplantation process.…”

Background:Hospital personnel of services related to donation and transplantation process play a fundamental role in the development of transplantation.Objectives:The aim of this study was to investigate the attitude toward living liver donation (LLD) among hospital personnel from services related to donation and transplantation in hospital centers in Spain and Latin America.Materials and Methods:Eight hospitals within the “International Donor Collaborative Project” were selected, three in Spain, three in Mexico and two in Cuba. The study was performed in transplant-related services, using a randomized sample, which was stratified by the type of service and job category.Results:In total, 878 workers were surveyed of which 82% (n = 720) were in favor of related LLD, 10% (n = 90) were against and 8% (n = 68) undecided. Attitudes toward related LLD were more favorable in the following groups: the Latin Americans (86% in favor vs. 77% among the Spanish; P = 0.007); younger people (37 vs. 40 years, P = 0.002); those in favor of either deceased donation (P < 0.001) or living kidney donation (P < 0.001); those who believed that they might need a transplant in the future (P < 0.001); those who would accept a liver from a living donor (P < 0.001); those who discussed the subject of donation and transplantation with their families (P = 0.040); and those whose partner was in favor of donation and transplantation (P = 0.044).Conclusions:Personnel from donation and transplantation-related units had a favorable attitude toward LLD. This attitude was not affected by psychosocial factors, although it was influenced by factors directly and indirectly related to the donation and transplantation process.

“…In their survey, Liu et al found a positive relation between being involved in voluntary prosocial activities and positive related attitudes toward living liver donation. 22 When evaluating the attitudes toward organ donation among resident physicians, Rios et al found that only 19% of the surveyed residents (n = 171) were in favor of anonymous living liver donation; however, when donation was from related individuals, acceptance levels were up to 85%. 21 A favorable position from healthcare workers (medical and nonmedical) is vital to create an environment of information, avoid confusion and misinformation among those who may want to be part of the ALLD process.…”

“…[ 43 ] The majority of them have obtained consent from their families. [ 44 ] This indicates a growing number of Chinese families support their family members to donate their organs after death. In addition, traditional Chinese culture may provide some convenient conditions for the implementation of “soft” mandated choice.…”

In this paper, we will discuss several ethical issues concerning cadaveric organ donation from the perspective of sociocultural factors that are unique to China under the condition that China has ended the use of executed prisoner's organs for transplants. It is found that though great developments have been made in organ transplantation, the ethical issues relating to organ transplantation still face dilemmas in China. It is argued that organ donation and transplantation in China could make further progress if the ethical issues proposed in this paper can be carefully considered.
