1 Policy and Ethics – Donors Cadaveric versus Living Donors Amy Lu, MD Georgetown University David Cronin, MD, PhD University of Chicago

2 Is it ethical to use organs from cadaveric donors in a Phase I experimental study, considering that these organs are in very short supply?

3 Should potential donors or their families be able to restrict donation so that organs would not be available for our study subjects?

4 In the absence of data on the safety and efficacy of transplants in HIV + individuals, is it ethical to allow living donors to assume the risks of donation?

5 What are the informed consent issues related to living donation? Should the potential recipient be required to reveal his or her HIV status to potential donors?
