Speakers: E. Muller, C.-L. Fischer-Fröhlich, K. Cransberg
Report by: S. Marks
Introduction
The OPC / Ethics Meeting was an interesting topic mix due to the combined topics of the OPC, the Ethics Committee and the
rescheduled and most welcome, presentation of Dr. Elmi Muller from Cape Town, South Africa on HIV positive
transplantations.
HIV positive to positive transplantation
Dr. Muller starts her interactive speech by asking the question if HIV
positive patients should be considered as an option for organ
donation and transplantation in Europe. As of 2008, HIV positive
donors are used as organ donors in South Africa (SA). However,
there are a lot of questions that rise due to this change in organ
donation. The most important aspects are how to select the donor
and the recipient.
