| Popis: | As brain death becomes an increasingly rare phenomenon due to better road safety and neurological interventions, controlled donation after cardiac death (cDCD) permits physicians to nonetheless pursue deceased donation, which bears the advantage of not harming the living. cDCD was reintroduced in Switzerland in 2011 after it was stopped for a few years due to ambiguities in the wording of the Federal Act on the Transplantation of Organs, Tissues and Cells from 2007, (Transplantation Act) as well as contradictions between the medical ethical guidelines of the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences from 2005, pertaining to the diagnosis of death in organ transplantation and the Transplantation Act. |
