Abstract
All countries considered have too few donor organs and do not completely exhaust the potential of organ transplantation. Effort should therefore be made to increase the amount of donor organs — post-morgen organ donation as well as LOD. The reasons for the existing organ shortage are, of course, not only of legal nature. With respect to LOD, there are, however, also legal reasons for this shortage. As legal experts have shown, LOD regimes create, in part, an artificial scarcity. The final aim of this dissertation was therefore to work out which rules would be best for the issues of LOD in need of regulation.
