Pre-Mortem Interventions for the Purpose of Organ Donation: Legal Approaches to Consent. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • The article discusses the controversial nature of Pre-Mortem Interventions (PMIs) for organ donation, highlighting potential harm to living patients and lack of direct medical benefit.
  • It analyzes the legal issues surrounding consent for PMIs, referencing existing legal commentary and identifying significant legal challenges.
  • Additionally, it reviews how different jurisdictions handle PMIs in law, with a focused case study on Ontario, Canada, where general medical consent laws apply due to the absence of specific legislation on PMIs.

Article Abstract

The administration of Pre-Mortem Interventions (PMIs) to preserve the opportunity to donate, to assess the eligibility to donate, or to optimize the outcomes of donation and transplantation are controversial as they offer no direct medical benefit and include at least the possibility of harm to the still-living patient. In this article, we describe the legal analysis surrounding consent to PMIs, drawing on existing legal commentary and identifying key legal problems. We provide an overview of the approaches in several jurisdictions that have chosen to explicitly address PMIs within codified law. We then provide, as an example, a detailed exploration of how PMIs are likely to be addressed in one jurisdiction where general medical consent law applies because there is no specific legislation addressing PMIs - the province of Ontario in Canada.
