Summary/Abstract: Organ transplant medicine faces not only technical problems but also moral andcultural ones. Future medical science must seriously consider the possibility ofcreating a true culture of solidarity and of the gift that can be expressed throughorgan transplantation. The free and conscious act of donation and organtransplantation must continue to be of high moral value in the future: it is a heroicservice in the service of life, but it is also a precious opportunity to exercise and useChristian love and compassion for one's brothers and sisters to the end, i.e. to thepoint of self-donation.
