UK Donation Ethics Committee

The UK Donation Ethics Committee (UKDEC) has been established as an independent source of advice and guidance on ethical aspects of organ donation and transplantation.

It aims to increase professional and public confidence in the ethical basis for decisions and processes in organ donation.

The UKDEC will consider ethical issues in their broader context in society.

It does not seek to increase organ donation directly through its work.
