Abstract
Organ transplantation has a distinctive feature: supply of organs is difficult because the graft is a rare resource. The imbalance between organ requirement and organ supply has two consequences:
-
1.
Establishment of waiting lists for each organ.
-
2.
Establishment of rules to manage the waiting lists with equity and efficacy.
