Host: Maurice Pickard, MD

Guest: Michael Millis, MD

In this segment, Dr. Millis examines the use of "marginal" or "expanded" donors in the United States, and the various factors behind increasing utilization of these potential donors who would otherwise be ineligible from their own medical problems or comorbidities. The interview then transitions towards some of the ethical issues inherent in "presumed" consent, a hospital policy recently accelerating throughout much of Europe.
