Sažetak

Organ transplantation and other related procedures in newborns and children are becoming ever more advanced and successful. Generally, success of transplantation medicine is limited by the availability of donated organs, irrespective of age. Appropriately sized donated organs pose physical limitation for children recipients. Therefore, since the early 1980s, consideration has been given to infant donors with modifi ed death criteria that would result in organ donation from newborns with confi rmed congenital anencephaly. Numerous ethical, regulatory and medical ambiguities surround discussion and decision making process if and when it is possible to donate organs of anencephalic infants.
