RESUMO
A relative high number of cases of organ donation after euthanasia (ODE) is performed in patients with a mental disorder. We feel there are morally relevant differences between people who receive euthanasia on grounds of somatic illness and those who receive it on grounds of a mental disorder. More research is needed before it can be assumed that patients with a mental disorder who have their requests for euthanasia granted may also be eligible for ODE without further testing. Until then, as a matter of prudence, a request for ODE from a patient with a mental disorder should also be reviewed by a psychiatrist.
