Resumen
PEREZ JORGE, P.J.. Judicial autopsy practice in cases of deceased after the removal of organs for transplantation. Cuad. med. forense [online]. 2015, vol.21, n.1-2, pp.64-71. ISSN 1988-611X. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1135-76062015000100009.
In Spain the number of donations from deceased under judicial investigation is greater than other surrounding countries, possibly because the Spanish model facilitates the active communication between the judge on duty, the forensic doctor and transplant coordinators. From the human perspective, it ennobles the society, based mainly on solidarity and altruism on the part of the donor and his family. It also provides a high socio-cultural and technical level, as a consequence of the quantity and quality of professionals involved in the whole transplant operation. In this paper the court and forensic doctor intervention on donations from deceased under judicial investigation is analyzed. We emphasize different possibilities in daily practice, as well as the need for action plans and protocols that promote the involvement of various operators involved, in order to reduce as much as possible the number of judicial refusals.
