COSTA-DE-OLIVEIRA, Lucas. Regulated market for organs: the case of Iran. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2018, n.44, pp.73-88. ISSN 1886-5887.

Organ shortage is a constant, global problem, even though various alternatives are presented to overcome a problem that generates thousands of deaths every year. This article analyses the ethical and legal issues of the regulated organ market, based on the model of rewarded donation of living kidneys among non-relatives, introduced in Iran in 1988. To this purpose, some historical notes will be made, including a presentation of the procedures and characteristics of the Iranian model, concluding with its main results, successes and errors. In the end, adopting an empirical basis as a starting point, the aim is to contribute to the theoretical debate that exists around this controversial alternative.

Palavras-chave : organs market; trade in organs; buying and selling of organs; rewarded organs donation; Iran.
