Public Opinion Toward the Tissues and Organs Removal for Transplantation Purposes
KRATOCHVÍLOVÁ, Nikola
The bachelor thesis 'Public Opinion Toward the Tissues and Organs Removal for Transplantation Purposes', as the title suggests, aims at examining the public opinion on the given topic. The objective of the paper was to research how the society perceives the removal of tissues and organs, as well as the level of public awareness in this field. The bachelor thesis is divided into the theoretical and practical part. The theoretic part is dealing with the current conditions of the tissues and organs removal for the purposes of transplantation. This part is divided into three main chapters. Main topics covered by the bachelor thesis are the medical, ethical and legal issues related to the tissues and organs removal. The aim of the practical part was to examine the public opinion on the removal of tissues and organs for the purposes of transplantation. Another objective was to find out whether the society is sufficiently informed about the issue, mainly from the legal point of view. Given the fact that the law 285/2002 Sb. (the transplant law), which has changed the field fundamentally, was introduced almost 12 years ago, I was interested whether the public has sufficient information on the principles of the assumed agreement with the organ and tissue removal. The two determined hypotheses were: Hypothesis 1. The public agrees with the removal of tissues and organs for the purposes of transplantation as a way of saving someone´s life. Hypothesis 2. The majority of respondents does not want to be registered in the National Register of Persons Refusing Posthumous Donation of Tissues and Organs (NROD).The thesis highlighted some issues concerning the removal of tissues and organs for the purpose of transplantation and examined opinions and the level of knowledge of the public in the health-related, ethical and legal matters.

Nursing care for cadaverous patients and nurses views on organ donation.
PÍŠOVÁ, Barbora
This Bachelor degree work is focused on the issue of the nursing care for the cadaverous patient, on its specific features, on the knowledge of nurses and on their opinions of the transplantation program. Result of the work creates an information brochure which will serve as a guideline for all nurses of the Department of Anaesthesiology and Resuscitation in Písek Hospital and it will help them to be quickly and well informed on the nursing care for the donors. The work is divided into two parts. In the first part there are stated legal regulations which run the transplantation process in the Czech Republic, next there are mentioned duties of the doctors from the donor hospital and examinations which are necessary for pronouncing the brain dead. The first part also describes activities of the coordination centre which is in charge of the process itself. Further, there is dealt with the ethic of the organ transplantation. The description of the nursing care for the donor with the beating heart forms a major part of the work. It involves the basic nursing and intensive care, specific examinations and documentation, doctors´ assistance and patients´ monitoring. For the second research part there were set two aims, which we tried to explain by means of interviews involving several groups of questions. Respondents were only nurses who have already had experience with the care for donors. The research questions were answered by means of the qualitative research investigation using the form of the semi-structure interview. The aims were supposed to map out the nursing care for donors from nurses´ point of view and to map out the nurses´ opinion of the donorship. The groups of questions concerned the specific features of the nursing care, nurses´ knowledge in this care and their opinion of the transplantation program. The research confirmed that this care has its specific characteristics, nurses have sufficient knowledge about the issue and they have mostly positive opinion of transplantation. On the basis of the research there was compiled a brief information brochure designed not only for beginning nurses. Students of medical branches can benefit from the work too.

Důvody odporu legalizace trhu s lidskými orgány
Pavelková, Soňa ; Šťastný, Daniel (advisor) ; Hudík, Marek (referee)
This paper is aiming at finding out, whether the reasons of aversion to organ trade legalization are more a moral issue or the aversion is caused by people being uninformed or misinformed. Accordingly, a survey aimed at four target groups (medical professionals, students, patients and donors) was done in the Czech Republic. The results showed that the aversion is mostly caused by lack of information about the possibility of organ trade legalization, however moral issue seemed not to be a major problem for the legalization.

Ethical problems in organ´s extraction towards transplantation
ESCOBAR CASTILLO, Javier Jesus
The present bachelor thesis is concerned with organ transplantation with the view to the associated ethic problems. The theoretical part consists of the introduction into the problems of this fast developing medical field, and refers to the legislative treatment of organ transplantation in the Czech Republic. The outlined transplantation process as a medical branch is the basis from which a number of social issues arise {--} issues related to morals, the law, and human relations and similar. The conclusion of the theoretical part formulates the aforesaid issues as the principal ethic problems: the subject of death, a consent or refusal with the post-mortem organ donation, organ trade and the selection of transplant candidates in the register. Moreover, the theoretical part compares different approaches to organ transplantations adopted in other countries, together with recommendations of the European Union. The thesis emphasizes the fact that to comprehend these sensitive ethic issues the public need to be informed, so the social consensus can be reached. The aim of the thesis is to determine the predispositions of the students of the Faculty of Health and Social Studies to donate organs, or their willingness to accept organs in the role of ill recipients. The adopted working hypotheses lay in such assumptions that on the one hand, students{\crq} approach to organ donation tends to be negative should they become donors; and, on the other hand, their approach is positive should they become recipients themselves. Another hypothesis assumed a certain lack of knowledge of the organ transplantation problems on the students{\crq} part, the fact of which renders the distribution of important information among the public virtually impossible. The research was conducted by means of questionnaires. The research results acquired from students were compared with the latest nationwide survey carried out by Factum Invenio, the marketing service company which is professionally concerned with such surveys. Needless to say, the abovementioned hypotheses were not confirmed by our research. On the contrary, the research ascertained high altruism and revealed a relatively good grasp of the organ transplant problems in most of the respondents. These facts are even more noticeable when compared with the nationwide research. Our research proved that students neither have ethic problems with the organ donation itself, nor with the ethically controversial and legislatively established strategy of obtaining organs: the strategy that saves human lives. Apparently, our respondents{\crq} moral standards of social justice are higher than those of the public as a whole. If our respondents spread their awareness of the problems among the public in concert with their viewpoints, they could contribute to the hope for a meaningful life with a transplanted organ of a diseased person on the waiting list.

Trade with kidneys - economic analysis
Horská, Iveta ; Chalupníček, Pavel (advisor) ; Bartoň, Petr (referee)
The demand for kidney transplantation is constantly raising. There is an organ shortage on the market, because the supply of suitable organs for transplantation is smaller than demanded quantity. The aim of this paper is to point out solution for elimination of kidney shortage and to analyse well known objecions against the legal trade with human organs. Analytical part of this paper is based on data from Iran, where the kidney purchase is possible. After kidney trade legalization the waiting list for transplants was eliminated. Excess of demand can be removed with allowance of considerable valuation for kidney, which is shown on example of Iran.
