Pobieranie narządów po zatrzymaniu krążenia. O nadrzędności neurologicznego kryterium śmierci nad krążeniowym – kwestie regulacyjne

DONATION AFTER CIRCULATORY DETERMINATION OF DEATH. ABOUT THE PRECEDENCE OF NEUROLOGICAL CRITERION OF DEATH OVER CIRCULATORY CRITERION – REGULATORY ISSUES This two-part article concerns with bioethical issues associated with organ donation after circulatory determination of death (DCDD). Part 1 is devoted to legal and regulatory matters. Here I prove that in Poland organ retrieval from donors of all categories, specified in the modified Maastricht classification, is permissible. Particularly I argue that in our country there already is a legal basis for development of program of organ retrieval from donors in whom circulatory arrest have occurred after foregoing of life sustaining treatment. I also examine whether from the point of view of the law such donors might be considered dead when organ retrieval takes place.
