Long transplant lists and a shortage of organ donors has led to an international resurgence in the donation of organs after circulatory death (‘DCD’). Despite being almost entirely absent for nearly 25 years, DCD now accounts for 40 per cent of deceased organ donation in the UK. This rise is in part due to attempts to resolve the ethical, legal and professional challenges inherent to this type of donation. Since 2008 in the UK, seven major ethical, legal and professional guidances have been published relating to deceased donation and DCD in particular. It is now this author’s opinion that the professional framework that underpins the DCD programme in the UK is the strongest in the world. This paper outlines the seven UK publications that justify this bold claim.

英国如何克服循环死亡后捐赠中的道德，法律和专业挑战

大量的移植物清单和器官供体的短缺导致循环死亡后的器官捐献国际复兴。尽管近25年几乎完全缺席，但DCD现在占英国已故器官捐赠的40％。这一增长部分是由于尝试解决此类捐赠所固有的道德，法律和专业挑战。自2008年以来，英国已发布了七份有关已故捐赠特别是DCD的主要道德，法律和专业指南。现在，作者认为，支持英国DCD计划的专业框架是世界上最强大的。本文概述了证明这一大胆主张合理的七个英国出版物。
