What will we prepare for the Canadian Students’ Union? 300/330 - appleby We will provide the CSU with information and recommendations on the following ethical issues: #1: Consent to Use of Organs & Tissues #2: Determining Death – Brain Death #3: Determining Death – Cardiovascular Death #4: Other Potential Donors #5: Financial Incentives #6: Xenotransplantation #7: Transplant Tourism

  4. How will we provide this information? 300/330 - appleby • We will divide up the research among working groups • Each group will research a single topic and then make recommendations on their topic • This group work will be done IN CLASS TIME on Thursday 17 March, Wed 23 Mar, Thu 24 Mar & Wed 30 March • Each group will receive a group mark for producing a research summary and recommendations (= 10%) • Each student will receive an individual mark based on their contributions to the group process (= 10%) • Presence in class + contribution to information + contributions to group process (by means of peer and self-evaluation)

  5. Working Group #1:Consent to use of organs & tissues 300/330 - appleby How will potential organ & tissue donors express and/or document their autonomous decisions with regard to the distribution and/or disposal of their own bodies and body parts?
