| Sumario: | The need for appropriate health policies in the management anddonation of tissues, organs and substances responds to the constant internationaldemand for health systems that not only guarantee the sufficient supplyof these elements, but also their safety. However, some of the measures takento address these needs are highly questionable, as methods such as the exclusionof certain population groups considered to be high risk could not only beconsidered as dubious and discriminatory measures, but even inconsistent andwith clear limitations of rationality. Elster’s broad theory of rationality allows usto approach a new way of assessing the action’s rationality, thus opening thepossibility of rethinking the different actions that have been taken regardingthis issue, the value of their purpose and the internal rationality of decisionsmade. |
