AbstractThe Organ Donation Act fills an old gap in the legislation, leading to improvement of the legal position of those involved. Much attention is given to the protection of the potential donor. A new consent procedure is introduced, including the registration of the consent or refusal of all persons aged 18 years or older. Because of the persistent shortage of donor organs the noncommittal nature of organ procurement is changed. Hospitals and nursing homes are obliged to have a protocol for organizing tissue donation. Also, conditions have been created for a just division of the available organs and tissues for transplantation.
