Reflexión bioética sobre trasplantes de pulmón

Abstract

Despite a substantial improvement in organ transplant techniques and rejections methods, Chile still exhibits an apparent lack of adequate increase of lung transplants. In particular, despite the presence of precise indicactions of lung transplant, the problem of limited donors is a very difficult reality for the receptors. In this work, we offer a comparison amongst Chile and Spain, with special emphasis on bioethical aspects of this process.
