SAŽETAK / ABSTRACT:

Transplantation of human organs and tissues for therapeutic purposes has been practiced since the middle of the last century. It began in a very primitive way back in ancient India (and today one method of transplantation is called the “Indian method”), through the 16th century (1551), when the first free transplantation of part of the nose was performed in Italy, and has developed to this day into an irreplaceable medical procedure aimed at saving and prolonging human life. Thousands of pages of professional literature, notes, polemical discussions, atypical medical articles, notes in the margins of read magazines or books in philosophy, sociology, criminal law literature… even representatives of the church have taken their position on events of this kind.

Understanding our view of this complex and very complicated issue requires that certain solutions on the international stage be given greater attention, especially where there are certain overlaps, certain overlaps but also divergences. It is always good to hear a different opinion, because it makes you think. Therefore, in the following considerations, we have tried to answer some of the numerous and diverse questions in which these touch, but often diverge, both from the point of view of real regulations, and from the angle of medical and judicial practice, this time from the perspective of some EU member states (Germany, Poland, also expressing the position of the Catholic Church) on the one hand, and from the perspective of different moral, spiritual, cultural and other values – India and Iraq, on the other.
