Doação de órgãos e a proibição internacional e nacional da comercialização e tráfico de órgãos e tecidos.

Abstract

This paper addresses the issue of organ and tissue donation, focusing on Brazilian regulation and international regulation that seeks to prohibit the sale and trafficking of organs and tissues. The monograph starts from the analysis of the technical and ethical issues of transplants, going through the international and internal regulation of the issue of organ donation, from the perspective of protection against all forms of trade and trafficking and of organs and tissues. It is of fundamental importance to study the theme, since the commercialization and trafficking of organs and tissues for transplants directly violate the principle of human dignity and are in disagreement with the real meaning of donation, that is, donating free of charge to another being, through a concrete gesture of solidarity. Thus, the organ trade generates a devaluation of life, since both parts of this relationship will not be on an equal footing, therefore, a culture of donation must be fostered, through the awareness of society. The method of approach used is the deductive one, since the research will start from general premises, in order to result in a conclusion about the regulation of organ and tissue donation as well as the international and national protection in combating the commercialization and trafficking of organs. The research technique employed is bibliographic, through direct and indirect documentation, given that the research will take place around the analysis of literary works that cover the subject of study.
