John Roberts, MD, FACS, Professor in the Department of Surgery and Chief of the Division of Transplantation at University of California San Francisco, discusses how physicians should balance donor risk with recipient benefit when approaching living donor liver transplantation. Organ transplantation raises almost every important medical ethical issue, including: standards for determining death, informed consent, the fair allocation of scarce resources, research on human subjects, global health concerns, and more. The MacLean Center's Seminar Series has examined Ethical Issues in Organ Transplantation. This year's interdisciplinary seminar series was organized by Mark Siegler, MD, Director of the MacLean Center. The seminars are cosponsored by the Transplant Center at the University of Chicago Medicine.
