2023: Post-mortem organ donation cases per 1 million people - 24.7
Different national (and sometimes regional) systems exist in EU member states to allow people to consent to organ donation after death. Within the framework of the "voluntary consent" system (opt-in, presumption of disagreement), consent must be given explicitly during life. The system of "refusal" (opt-out, presumption of consent) supports the principle of "presumed consent" (silence is tantamount to consent), a citizen is considered consenting to donation if he has not expressed official disagreement during his lifetime or if a specific request for the non-placement of organs for donation is not made before death. There are also mixed systems. Some countries have established donor and/or non-donor registries to which citizens can contribute. In practice, there are differences in functioning as the family of the deceased still plays an important role in decision-making. Regardless of the system, there are general ethical principles, including a ban on financial benefits from bodies and protection of the rights of both donors and recipients, enshrined in international agreements.
In Europe, the main source of organs suitable for use transplantations is donations from donors with a recorded number - death brain the number of such donations significantly exceeds the number of organ revenues from donors who have had a complete cardiac arrest, or from living donors.[1]
According to a 2017 European Commission study on the implementation and impact of the EU action plan for organ donation and transplantation in EU Member States, post-mortem donation serves as a source of receipt of organs for transplantation such as the kidneys, liver, heart, lungs, pancreas and small intestine.[2]
