Abstract
This is an overview of issues relating to consent in donation and transplantation, including the types of consent currently in use in organ donation. There is a discussion of altruistic consent, opt-in, opt-out and deemed consent, and mandated choice. Donation of organs after cardiac death and after brain death is described. Reference is made to current guidance from the UK National Health Service, the Human Tissue Authority, the UK Government and the Spanish model of Organ Donation and Transplantation.
