The presumed consent legislation - A success factor or a disruptive factor for tissue donation? A qualitative study based on multidisciplinary interviews with experts

CONCLUSION: The present study indicates that the presumed consent legislation is not a success factor for increasing the number of tissue donors in Germany. It would be far more effective to improve structures and processes in order to identify the large number of potential tissue donors and to be able to conduct informed conversations with their relatives. Information measures for the general public and professionals, which clearly differentiate between tissue donation and organ donation, are also more promising than fruitless debates about the introduction of the presumed consent legislation.PMID:37806815 | DOI:10.1016/j.zefq.2023.08.001
