Loss of donors as a consequence of a coroner's refusal to authorize is an unusual problem that prevents organs becoming available for transplantation. Of 1123 effective donors, 433 (38.5%) died of accidental death. In these latter, it was therefore necessary to request judicial authorization for donation during the coroner's examination. Organ extraction was not performed because of judicial refusal in 15 of these donors (3.46% of the total number of judicial extractions requested and 1.33% of the total number of donors). Despite the lack of differences in the cause of death profile in the four provinces, large differences were noted between the provinces, with most judicial refusals in Malaga (10 refusals; 6.6% of the total judicial refusals), followed by Granada with five refusals (2.9%), Seville with two refusals (1.7%), and zero in Almería. To minimize these judicial refusals, we propose joint action protocols between transplant coordinators, judges, and coroners for these donors to be examined in the hospital prior to extraction and in the operating room during extraction. Any external lesion of judicial interest can then be examined, photographed, and evaluated.

The aim was to analyze the perception of Brazilian federal judges on the implications of COVID-19 vaccination. A study was carried out with Brazilian federal judges, who received a survey designed with multiple-choice questions on COVID-19 vaccination, covering topics such as its mandatory aspect, the application of coercive measures, hesitation to vaccinate, priority groups, the duties of Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (Anvisa, acronym in Portuguese), the role of the Judiciary branch, and immunity passports. A total of 254 out of 1,300 federal judges from all states responded to the survey.

Background: In June 2016, Canada legalized medical assistance in dying (MAiD). From the outset, some healthcare institutions (including faith-based and non-faith-based hospitals, hospices, and residential aged care facilities) have refused to allow aspects of MAiD onsite, resulting in patient transfers for MAiD assessments and provision. There have been media reports highlighting the negative consequences of these "institutional objections", however, very little research has examined their nature and impact.
