Ethical perspectives about organ allocation for transplantation.
The ethical questions suggested by the allocation of organs for transplantation can be assembled around the notion of justice. It is a domain of health care in which there is a chronic lack of resources, but for patients whose life is at stake, sometimes at short term. It has similarities with the triage, imposed in some conditions of emergency medicine, at war or during civil catastrophes. The question will be approached from the points of view of the main stakeholders.
