  • Title: Informed consent--suggested procedures for informed consent for unrelated haematopoietic stem cell donors at various stages of recruitment, donor evaluation, and donor workup.
    Author: Rosenmayr A, Hartwell L, Egeland T, Ethics Working Group of the World Marrow Donor Association.
    Journal: Bone Marrow Transplant; 2003 Apr; 31(7):539-45. PubMed ID: 12692618.
    Abstract:
    The Ethics Working Group of the World Marrow Donor Association (WMDA) was established to address the increasing and complex number of ethical issues surrounding unrelated haematopoietic stem cell donation where the selected donor and recipient reside in different countries. This paper considers the topic of informed donor consent, but recognises that the recommendations contained within the paper may be subject to cultural variances in interpretation, and to adjustment to meet the legal requirements of individual countries. Nevertheless, the extent of international cooperation establishes sufficient common denominators for the recommendations to be widely adhered to in the interests of best practice.
