DISCUSSION PANEL: TRANSPLANT MEDICINE AT A CROSSROADS
In a transplant system troubled by long wait times and a global organ shortage, what are the far reaching consequences of organ trafficking and forced organ harvesting?
This panel discussion brings together experts in international law, organ transplants, and bioethics. The primary focus will be on the sources used for organ transplants, with a specific emphasis on exploring ethical considerations in preventing forced organ harvesting. The discussion panel aims to consider the role that the medical community, especially Harvard Medical School, can play in addressing and preventing unethical practices. This discussion holds particular significance at Harvard, as it is the birthplace of the concept of "brain death," which established the ethical foundation for organ transplantation.
