Special Eurobarometer 272d: Europeans and organ donation

In June 2006, the Directorate General Health and Consumer Protection (SANCO) of the European Commission launched an open consultation on organ donations and transplantations1, with a view in particular to identifying the main problems in this area and determining measures which could be adopted at Community level. This Internet based consultation was completed in September 2006.
This survey addresses the following points:
- Have these subjects already been discussed within the family circle?
- How Europeans feel about organ donations: first of all, from a personal point of view, that is to say their willingness to donate an organ after their death.
Then, with regard to others: would Europeans agree to donate an organ from a deceased close family member?
- Opinions about organ donation cards, and their use by European citizens.

The results by volumes are distributed as follows:

• Volume A: Countries
• Volume AA: Groups of countries
• Volume A' (AP): Trends
• Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries
• Volume B: EU/socio-demographics
• Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics
• Volume C: Country/socio-demographics
