Transplantation medicine is considered a pacesetter for medical innovations. Aside from the development of highly complex surgical methods, interdisciplinary cooperation and close collaboration with basic medical research have always been necessary in order to master the challenges of transplantation medicine. Understanding the immune system as well as controlling tissue rejection through targeted medication were the prerequisites of our current ability to "routinely" perform transplants in the case of terminal organ failure. But beyond medical feasibility, transplantation medicine also has to wrestle with societal, ethical and legal problems. Questions related to distributive justice (utility principle versus urgency) or organ donation (e.g. presumed consent, organ donation after cerebral death, remunerated organ donation) require further transdisciplinary discussion in order to gain societal acceptance and legitimacy.
Within the CAS Research Focus, these questions will be discussed with a broad interdisciplinary audience as well as socially, ethically and legally contextualized. The aim of the research focus is to establish an interdisciplinary network at LMU.

Lebendspende in der Organtransplantation - Diskussion
Der Mangel an Spendern führt in Deutschland jeden Tag dazu, dass Patienten vergeblich auf das rettende Spenderorgan warten. Die selbstlose Lebendspende einer Niere oder eines Teils der Leber durch Verwandte und Freunde kann für einige Patienten eine rechtzeitige Transplantation ermöglichen. Neben den medizinisch-technischen Herausforderungen birgt die Lebendspende von Organen erhebliche rechtliche, medizinethische und gesellschaftliche Probleme. Im Rahmen dieses Workshops soll die Frage der Risikobewertung bei der Lebendspende fakultätsübergreifend diskutiert werden, um dann den Bogen zu anderen Bereichen des Lebens zu schlagen, bei denen Menschen besonderen Risiken ausgesetzt werden. | Center for Advanced Studies: 02.12.2011 | Speakers: Dr. Bert Heinrichs, Prof. Ulrich Schroth, Prof. Konrad Hilpert, Prof. Ferdinand Mühlbacher, Prof. Bruno Meiser, Dr. Manfred Stangl | Moderation: Ingeborg Hain
