The legal and ethical framework governing Body Donation in Europe-1st update on current practice
Previously, we have reported on the legal and
ethical aspects and current practice of body
donation in several European countries,
reflecting cultural and religious variations as
well as different legal and constitutional
frameworks. We have also established good
practice in body donation. Here we shall further extend the legal and ethical frameworks
in place and also focus on novelties in the law
and different directives. Of particular interest
are points that address the commercialization
of human bodies and body parts and weaknesses in the legal directives. Therefore, it is
important to define what is ethical and what
needs to be considered unethical in body
donation and the subsequent utilisation of
human bodies for teaching and research.peer-reviewe
