Legal Issues of Organ Donation from Deceased Terminally Ill Patients
目前我國屍體器官捐贈包含「腦死後器官捐贈」及「心臟停止死亡後器官捐贈」兩種途徑，後者雖早已於2017年即公告迄今，然目前醫療與法律實務上仍多有疑慮，法規面向亦有法律漏洞，容易造成遊民、無家屬病人、或者與「最近親屬」關係不佳之病人可能淪為推廣器官捐贈風氣下之潛在受害者。本文將簡要介紹我國器官捐贈制度，並以捐贈者之權益保護為中心進行評析。

This article will briefly introduce Taiwan’s organ donation system and analyze it with a focus on protecting the rights of donors.
