title: Public opinion and renal transplantation: results of a sample poll.
abstract: Organ transplantation is one of the most urgent and deeply felt problems in this day and age. It is a very delicate topic with its ethical, scientific, legal and political implications. Transplant surgery can be defined as a sure and irreplaceable opportunity capable of solving situations of life-threatening seriousness which could not otherwise be so effectively treated.
