IOPO: Indiana Organ Procurement Organization, Inc.

Do organ procurement organizations such as IOPO have an ethics committee?

Organ procurement organizations have a standing ethics committee, but also regroup if necessary for a particular case. In every region there is an ethics committee for procurement. Also, every hospital has an ethics committee that meets on a case by case basis depending on the particular circumstances associated with a donor case. The national organization (United Network for Organ Sharing - UNOS) also has a very active ethics committee.
