Project Details
Abstract
While women/ gender, medicine and healthcare studies in Taiwan have had fruitful research achievements, gender issues in organ donation and transplantation have not been well explored. This project aims to investigate the decision-making process of the living-related organ donation, focusing on gender hierarchy, division of labor and gender roles in families, and power in families. In-depth interviews will be conducted with the donors, recipients, and the families recruited from an organ transplantation hospital in Taiwan. Transcripts will subject to interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). Finally, this project attempts to offer suggestions to ethical guidelines for the evaluation of living organ donation and support future living organ donor candidates.
