Do I have to get the consent of my family members for the Volunteer Book of Human Organ Donation in China?

If you want to donate before your death, you don't have to ask your family for permission.

If you want to donate after death, you need to get the consent of your family.

Organ donation means that when a person is diagnosed with brain death and can only rely on ventilators and drugs to maintain vital signs, his organs are donated free of charge to dying patients waiting for transplantation based on his wishes before his death and with the consent of his family members, so that his life can be extended or donated to medical colleges for medical teaching.

Healthy adults can also donate one of their kidneys or part of their liver to relatives or spouses.

On April 20, 2009, Guangdong Red Cross Society and Provincial Health Department jointly held the kick-off meeting of Guangdong Autologous Organ Donation Pilot Project.

Xu Huozhou, executive vice president of the Provincial Red Cross Society, and Liao Xinbo, deputy director of the Provincial Health Department attended the meeting. More than 80 people attended the meeting, including health bureau representatives from ten cities including Guangzhou and Shenzhen, Red Cross staff, and the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Nanfang Hospital and other 14 hospitals with organ transplant qualifications.

The Shenzhen Red Cross Society and the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University introduced their experiences at the meeting. As of June 5438+February, 2009, 50 cases of organ donation have been completed in our province, and the lives of 56 cases of organ failure have been successfully saved. At least 40 blind patients have seen the light again, and many burn patients have recovered.

At the meeting, the Provincial Red Cross Society and the Health Department decided to set up the Guangdong Human Organ Donation Committee, which consists of the Provincial Organ Donation Office, the Provincial Human Organ Acquisition Organization and the Provincial Human Organ Donation Expert Group to manage the human organ donation work in the province in a unified manner.

The reason why it is difficult to implement in China

The influence of ethical concepts

Traditional China is an ethical society, and the general moral principle in ancient society is to bury the dead. In the new century, people in many places still adhere to the old customs. Many people find it emotionally difficult to accept donations from relatives or their own bodies.

The influence of interest concept

Organ donation, as a charitable act voluntarily performed by citizens, can only be donated, not bought or sold. It is completely free of charge, so some people will think, "What are the advantages and benefits of donating organs to him?"

Lack of social concept

China people value themselves over society, and their private and personal consciousness is deeply rooted, and their sense of social responsibility is poor. In people's minds, the idea of being irrelevant, hanging high and indifferent to strangers is deeply rooted.
