Socio-Anthropological Approach to the Discourse of Transplant Patients in the District of Abidjan: Between Promotion of Kidney Donation and Silence
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Today, living kidney transplant practices, as well as biomedical research, have made the body an application of technology and an object of scientific research. Indeed, kidney transplantation from living kidneys to humans is an innovative therapy in the history of medicine. It is indeed, with the application of this technique that man becomes a medicine for man, i.e. the elements and not only products of the body of one used as a therapeutic means for the other. Initially, this study aimed to analyse the discourse of the beneficiaries of living transplants in a scientific approach. To achieve the expected results, a methodology based on a qualitative approach was used. This has allowed us to achieve the following results: The choice of a living donor raises ethical questions that must be borne in mind by the stakeholders concerned. This practice is in total contradiction with the first principle of medical ethics, which is "first of all, do no harm", since a healthy person is subjected to surgery with its risk of complications. This is only possible if the objective expected for the recipient far exceeds the disadvantages of sampling.
