In the continuous discussion about financial incentives for organ donation promotors of a controlled trade system hope for an increase while opponents suspect a decrease in the number of organs available for transplantation. For both assumptions evidence is lacking. Physicians are essential partners for cooperation with transplant centers in cadaveric organ donation. It is assumed that their attitude to donate their own organs after death will influence their readiness to participate in the cooperation process. In an anonymous questionnaire which was completed in 1994/95 (N=759) and 1999 (N=500) by clinic and primary care physicians in the region of KV Nordrhein their attitudes towards various items concerning organ donation and transplantation was evaluated. For most items the answers given in 1999 were the same as in 1994/95 but the willingness to donate organs after death had declined significantly by 10%. In 1994/95 there was only a 8% lower consent rate to own organ donation for those physicians who believed that organ trade was possible in Germany compared to those who judged organ trade impossible (82 vs. 90%, difference not significant), while in 1999 this difference had increased to 21% (65 vs. 86%, p=0.005). These data are more in favour of the assumption that the readiness of physicians as cooperating partners in the process of cadaveric organ recruitment will diminish and consequently the total number of organs for transplantation will decrease if a system of financial incentives for organ donation is installed. |
