Directed Donation and Ownership of
Human Organs
In this paper, Dr Pattinson explored the
donation of organs from deceased donors for transplantation into a
specified recipient, ie directed donation. Part one argued that
attempts to prohibit or stringently restrict directed donation are
opposed by a proper understanding of the principles underpinning
the Human Tissue Act 2004. Part 2 examined those principles
and a recent decision of the Court of Appeal (Yearworth v
Bristol NHS Trust [2009] EWCA Civ 37) by reference to a
particular conception of property.
