TI  - Non-heart beating organ donation.
PG  - 501-3
AB  - Increasing the levels of non-heart beating organ donation (NHBOD) is a potential 
      means of improving the supply of transplantable organs. NHBOD may provide a 
      mechanism to enable a patient's prior wishes to be realised and to provide 
      comfort to a family in grief. There is an overriding ethical principle to 
      strictly divide the responsibility for the care of the dying patient and the 
      potential transplant recipient. Medical protocols need to be written, and 
      institutional ethics committees and our national organ procurement system need to 
      be involved if we are to protect public confidence and see NHBOD realise its full 
      potential.
