To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Declaration of Istanbul (DoI), a working group of the Declaration of Istanbul Custodian Group (DICG) has prepared a draft update to the Declaration. The revisions made in this 2018 Edition are intended to ensure that the DoI remains a valuable source of ethical guidance for health professionals and policy makers during the next decade in the face of persisting and emerging challenges in organ trafficking and transplant tourism around the world. To achieve this goal, we need your help. We are conducting a public consultation that will enable all those with an interest in the DoI to review and submit feedback on the draft. To do so, please visit this survey page here. The survey will close on April 20, 2018.

 Early liver transplantation was such a terrible failure that anesthesiologists in England refused to participate in clinical trials, calling the surgery "macabre and unethical." Today, the liver is the second-most commonly transplanted organ. Dr. Thomas E. Starzl performed the first human liver transplant on March 1, 1963. Sadly, it was an utter failure as the patient — 3-year-old Bennie Solis — bled to death on the operating table.

At times it seems that everything is political in nature — and perhaps most things are in the 21st century. For nurses who care about the state of the industry in which we find ourselves building our careers, being politically aware is simply an intelligent modus operandi.

In 1999, the Institute of Medicine (IOM; now the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine) published "To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System." The report concluded that preventable medical errors within our [U.S.] healthcare system lead to as many as 98,000 deaths per year.
