There has been a general assumption in the international debate
surrounding organ procurement that Presumed Consent (opting-out)
systems produce better results than Express Consent (opting-in)
systems. This study uses the French case to challenge this widely
held assumption and argues that the French presumed consent systems
coexist with patterns of behaviour that in practice do not mobilize
the law. It explores four key areas to current research in
socio-legal studies focussing on the state and nature of social
solidarity, social engineering and the changing nature of the
citizen-state relations, state intervention in the event of death
and discretion in use of corpses and recent modifications of the
status of medical professionals as figures of authority and agents
of state policy. Using material based on interviews with medical
professionals, this title will be a valuable resource for
researchers, academics, policy-makers and practitioners with an
interest in this complex and topical subject.
