Abstract:
The presumed consent principle in organ donation as one of the legal systems to obtain organs has a-chieved some success in practice.However,it is controversial in the ethical and legal aspects.Some Chinese scholars express concern about the implementation of presumed consent in the context of Chinese culture.In order to explicit whether the principle of presumed consent in organ donation is suitable for the Chinese culture,this pa-per considered that there are positive factors in promoting organ donation in Chinese culture through the study of the relationship among the types of presumed consent,the presumed consent and informed consent and the ethical prin-ciple of respect for autonomy.Under the regulation and promotion of state law,the principle of presumed consent can also play the positive role in promoting organ donation in the context of Chinese culture.
