DOI: BRIDGING DIVIDES: SWAP AND DOMINO ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION ACROSS SOCIOCULTURAL AND POLITICAL FRONTIERS
Shreyas Ayer , PhD scholar, SRM University, Chennai, IndiaAbstract
Swap and domino organ transplantation represents a groundbreaking approach to address organ shortages by facilitating organ exchanges among incompatible donor-recipient pairs or utilizing organs from deceased donors to trigger multiple transplant chains. This paper explores the socio-cultural and political implications of swap and domino organ transplantation, transcending traditional boundaries and challenging existing norms in the field of organ donation and transplantation. Through a multidisciplinary lens, it examines the ethical considerations, legal frameworks, and societal attitudes surrounding swap and domino transplantation, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges inherent in this innovative approach. By fostering collaboration and cooperation across sociocultural and political divides, swap and domino transplantation offers a promising pathway to expand access to life-saving organ transplants and promote global health equity.
