Zusammenfassung
La Unió Europea recomana la donació no remunerada de sang per considerar que aquest tipus de donació és el mètode més segur per a obtenir sang i substàncies derivades d'aquesta, i el que millor respecta la dignitat del donant així com alguns principis ètics relatius a la disposició de productes d'origen humà. No obstant això, el risc de sofrir escassetat de sang i d'altres hemoderivats, ha fet que el Dret comunitari autoritzi la importació, i consegüent circulació pel territori comunitari, de productes sanguinis provinents de països en els quals la llei permet remunerar als donants. Davant aquesta situació, s'analitza la incoherència que suposa i s'al·ludeix a l'alternativa que la donació de sang sigui considerada un deure cívic a càrrec dels ciutadans, la qual cosa permetria obtenir les quantitats necessàries de sang i hemoderivats de forma més coherent i menys problemàtica per a la regulació comunitària que la situació actual.
