Ethics of Response to Family Opposition in ‘First Person Consent’ Organ Donation

The Uniform Anatomical Gift Act, as adopted and revised, affirms personal autonomy of those who wish to donate organs or tissue after death. Not even next of kin are permitted to revoke such “first person” authorizations to donate.

Tarris Rosell, PhD, DMin will examine this question and more during a 90 minute webinar scheduled for February 22, 2012 at 11 am Central.
