Abstract:
It is of great significance to maintain personal dignity of human organ donors.There are three problems that may exist in the human organ donation.At the stage of registration,the potential donors may face family kidnapping;at the terminal stage,living with dignity for the donors is difficult to guarantee;at the post-donation stage,there is lack of humane care for the remains of donors and their close relatives.Aiming at the above problems,this paper made an analysis from the theoretical aspect and put forward three ethical principles:the principle of autonomy,respect and humanitarianism.
