The Istanbul Declaration on organ trafficking and transplant tourism puts forth the principles which should govern ethical organ transplantation. Read the Lancet Commentary on the Declaration as well as the WHO Guiding Principles on Transplantation.

SARS is one of the organisations that have formally endorsed the Declaration.
