Summary
A chronic shortage of donor organs in Germany has seen a system of allocation having to be enforced. In light of recent scandals, Johannes Weigel's study examines how civil law handles the wrongful allocation of donated organs and in particular how the liability of physicians is dealt with in such cases. The author focusses on the complex interplay between constitutional, treatment contract, and organ transplantation law, and looks into the consequences for hospitals and doctors.
