Journal Title: Progress in Health Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The purpose of article is to present, analyse and evaluate the effective legal regulations concerning the extent and manner of passing information about surgical implantation of cells, tissues or an organ to the recipient of the graft. The prospective recipient of the graft should possess extensive knowledge concerning the suggested medical intervention by way of implantation of cells, tissues or an organ as well as data regarding the subsequent medical procedures that follow. Therefore, information obtained by the patient ought to be as exhaustive as possible. That is to say, it must contain any data that would enable the prospective recipient to make a reasonable decision whether to agree to the intervention or not while being fully aware of what they give their consent to and what might be expected. Information should be presented in a manner that is intelligible and comprehensive for the prospective recipient of transplant, which shall be assessed individually, on the basis of current intellectual abilities of the patient.
