Kimberly Olthoff, MD, the Donald Guthrie Professor of Surgery in the Division of Transplantation at Pennsylvania University, discusses the ethical dilemmas facing liver donation allocations.

Organ transplantation raises almost every important medical ethical issue, including: standards for determining death, informed consent, the fair allocation of scarce resources, research on human subjects, global health concerns, and more. The MacLean Center's Seminar Series has examined Ethical Issues in Organ Transplantation.

This year's interdisciplinary seminar series was organized by Mark Siegler, MD, Director of the MacLean Center. The seminars are cosponsored by the Transplant Center at the University of Chicago Medicine.
