Announcement:
>
> We are pleased to announce the international conference: "Organ
> Transplantation: Ethical, Legal and Psychological Aspects". This
> conference may be of interest to the readers of your journal, as it is
> aimed at psychologists, ethicists, clinicians, lawyers and policy makers
> in the field of organ transplantation.
>
> Transplantation medicine is a rapidly evolving science. New technologies
> and transplantation programs raise questions about the ethical, legal
> and psychological implications of these developments. In various
> countries these psychological, legal and ethical aspects are evolving in
> different ways. Because of this there are opportunities for better
> cooperation between countries. On the other hand, important pitfalls
> emerge, like unequal access to care.
>
> The purpose of the conference is to encourage the exchange of
> information, ideas and experiences, at an international level. In
> addition the aim is to establish a permanent international platform to
> formulate guidelines and stimulate joint research efforts. To achieve
> this we have chosen a format of workshops on various topics with the
> goal of formulating recommendations for the plenary closing session.
>
> Workshops are centered on the following 6 topics:
>
> 1. Commercialization and trafficking.
>
> 2. Legal systems for organ donation and allocation.
