Abstract

The Aguascalientes Document was drafted during the first 2010 Bioethics Forum of the Transplantation Society in Latin America and the Caribbean. The object of the document is to safeguard the integrity of the living donor. This article aims to investigate the Aguascalientes Document among the participants to the 2012 SLANH Congress. A questionnaire was applied, with 21 questions on topics covered by said document. The results show that 36.3% of the respondents accepts the unrelated living donor; 36.3% believes there is a margin of growth in the rate of deceased donors; 57.9% guarantees health with quality immunosuppressive drugs; 61.5% does not know the document. In view of the above, it is concluded that the Aguascalientes Document contains useful recommendations for monitoring the bioethical aspects of transplants.
