DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Mélanie Mader\, Postdoctoral\nFellow\, Researc
 h Group on Health and Law.\nLunch will be served.\nAbstract\nOrgan transpl
 antation is a very successful medical procedure\,\nwhich saves the lives o
 f thousands of patients worldwide every\nyear. However\, this success is l
 imited by a major problem: a\nchronic shortage of transplantable organs.\n
 In this seminar\, we consider the medical\, social and\neconomic issues ra
 ised by transplantation medicine and define\norgan shortage as a public he
 alth problem. Based on\nthis premise\, we present the idea of establishing
  a public\npolicy to promote organ donation within the Swiss legal\nsystem
 .\nAs part of a public policy\, the State can use incentives\,\ni.e.\, reg
 ulatory instruments to reward organ donation.\nConsidering legal and ethic
 al constraints\, we show how these\nincentives can be designed to increase
  organ donation rates\nwithout violating the prohibition of organ sales.\n
 This argument leads us to envision several innovative incentives\nsuch as 
 tax breaks for willing donors\; priority status on the\nwaiting list for a
  registered donor should he or she ever need\nan organ transplant\; discou
 nts on health insurance premiums\;\nor a rebate on a donor's funeral costs
 . Finally\, we discuss\nexamples of States where some of these incentives 
 have been\nadopted.\n
