Clinical transplantation is an evolving discipline. Complex ethical and legal questions have arisen alongside advances in transplantation and immunobiology. It is highly likely that further advances will be made and that new techniques in clinical transplantation will be implemented. The British Transplantation Society is committed to addressing new and emergent ethical and legal issues and understanding the ways in which we might appropriately respond to them.
The British Transplantation Society Ethics Committee is responsible for considering current ethical issues in transplantation to assist the Society in having an agreed position in these areas.
