ABSTRACT

The Mexico City Living Will (LVA), enacted on January 7, 2008, has the objective of setting forth and regulating norms and requirements of any person’s will regarding refusal to undergo treatments intended to unnecessarily prolong the person’s life. Furthermore, the Law requires, in its Article 8, the expression regarding availability of organs susceptible of donation. Objective: Documenting knowledge about and diffusion given to Living Will, regarding transplants and their bioethical implications within the medical community involved in transplants. Material and method: A survey was prepared to be applied during the XV Congress of the Mexican Transplant Society (Sociedad Mexicana de Trasplantes) in September, 2011. One hundred of the attendants to one of the plenary sessions of the Congress were invited to take part in the survey. Results: 78 replied questionnaires were received; 54% of respondents are part of an internal Transplant Committee; out of total respondents 51% do not know the LVA. Among personnel involved in transplants who do know the Law (n = 38), only 68% have a knowledge about what is set forth related to organ donation for transplant. Independently, 90% of respondents have the intention of donating their organs. Conclusion: The need of spreading the knowledge about LVA among health and transplant personnel is evident.
