Abstract

The American Society of Transplant Surgeons (ASTS) was asked to endorse the ‘The Declaration of Istanbul on Organ Trafficking and Transplant Tourism.’ The document has been reviewed by the ASTS Ethics Committee and their ensuing report was presented, discussed and approved by the ASTS Council. The ASTS vigorously supports the principles outlined in the Declaration and details specific current obstacles to implementation of some of its proposals in the United States.
