RESUMEN
Organ transplantation has demonstrated its significant values by its excellent effectiveness in health reconstruction and life survival, where organ donation is a major component in promoting the development of organ transplantation in China. In recent years, an important progress has been made in organ transplantation in China with an annually increased organ donation rate. In spite of this, there is a serious fact confronted by us that the donated organ quantity is insufficient, which may be solved by further improvement of medical science and public health policy. According to the international experience, an incentive system may improve the organ donation rate effectively although the hidden ethic property of the incentive system itself may have an essentially conflict with the altruism contained in the organ donation. Therefore, in this article, the property of the incentive system, the interaction between organ donation and incentive system and the ethic justification of the system was reviewed, aiming to provide a reference for the further development of the organ donation and transplantation business in China.
RESUMEN
Synthetic biology is an intercrossed scientific branch rapidly developing in recent years,whose progresses would bring the technology of synthesizing or making life into reality.It would have magnificent implication for economic development and studying the fundamental rules of biology,but it will also bring ethical problems as well as anxiety for possible potential threat.This paper considers that making life is justifiable ethically,but the whole process must be strictly controlled and effectively supervised.
RESUMEN
Since Chinese Regulation of Human Organ Transplantation being enforced in practice on May 1,2007,many related issues have arisen and drown our attention.One typical example is the mutual kidney transplantation issue between two families in Hunan province.Based on analyzing the pros and cons in this real event of disputes,the paper discusses ethical issues related to mutual kidney transplantation as follows.Whether or not this exchange approach of organ transplantation can be justified in order to save human lives? Whether or not the mutual transplantation style should be expanded to multiple families? How to handle the gap of organ supply shortage during practical transplantation between two or among several families? How to coordinate the disputes between mutual kidney transplantation and the now in-force legal regulations on organ transplantation?
