[Ethicolegal issues of organ donation as the main obstacle to the progress of clinical transplantation].
Ethicolegal issues present the main factor hindering obtaining organs from corpses and living donors, the distribution of cadaveric organs, and the financial providence of donorship in Russia. The actual Russian legislation is contradictory in terms of obtaining relatives' consent for the transplantation of cadaveric organs. There are no precise definitions of the degree of genetic relationship between the donor and recipient sufficient for transplantation. Selling and purchasing human organs is strictly prohibited, while financial compensation of the living donor seems to be a fair measure. Providing the possibility to verify brain death is a necessary condition for expanding the cadaveric organ pool. The organ shortage leads to improper distribution of donor organs. All these problems have to be solved for the progress of organ transplantation in Russia.
