Ethics in transfusion medicine involves ensuring the safety, efficacy, and fairness in blood donation and transfusion practices. It focuses on informed consent, meaning patients should understand the risks and benefits before receiving blood. Ethical principles also guide how blood is collected, screened, and allocated, ensuring that it is used fairly without discrimination. This field emphasizes respect for donors and recipients, protecting their rights and privacy. Overall, the aim is to provide safe blood products while maintaining trust and integrity in the medical system for both donors and patients.
