Abstract

CUADROS-AGUILERA, Pol. Salus Populi, prohibition of financial gain and the civic duty to donate blood. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2017, n.40, pp.115-124.  Epub Nov 02, 2020. ISSN 1886-5887.

This text focus on the Spanish regulation of Blood donation. Our aim is to defend that, given the fact that in our state paid blood donations are forbidden while the importation of blood and its products ―especially plasma― coming from remunerated donations is permitted, the aforementioned legislation entails several consistency issues. Paradoxically, establishing a civic duty to donate blood would be more congruent with the legislation in force and its underlying principles than the present situation.

Keywords : blood donation; public health; non-gain principle; civic duty; res extra commercium..
