IntroductionOrgan transplantation is a medical procedure that involves a surgical operation consisting of transferring or removing an organ from one person to another, or placing the organ of a donor into the body of a recipient for replacement. recipients have damaged or failed an organ resulting from an impairment of normal physiological function affecting part or all of an organism or from an act causing someone physical harm. Lately, there is an emerging innovation by which organs are created to form and increase in size. by a process of inorganic accretion, from the patient's cell. This area of medicine is known as regenerative medicine. In addition to this, there are basically different types of regenerative medical transplantation, known as autograft, organic allograft, isograft, xenograft and xenotransplantation, split transplantation and Domino transplantation (Schicktanz, 2010, p4). According to the surgical field of medical profession, transplantation is carried out in various parts of the human organ, namely liver, heart, kidneys, lungs, intestine, pancreas and thymus. Therefore, kidney transplantation is the most widely practiced in the world. However, donors of these organs are either alive or have irreversible loss of brain function, as indicated by a persistent flat electroencephalogram. The impact on social and moral values and norms of organ transplantation for the incarcerated population: A series of questions have arisen regarding the social and moral value of organ transplantation for the incarcerated population. The pattern or arrangement of this question is one of the most controversial questions about whether expensive medical care should be provided...... middle of document...... standards and codes of ethics for correctional doctors. According to the NCCHC standard, the services of an external practitioner must be obtained. Nonetheless, Puisis stated that it is an ethical principle directly related to the precept “primum non nocere.” In addition to this, there is the use of the services of prison doctors to carry out urine tests or blood tests to detect drug or alcohol consumption, another example is the taking of x-rays and the collection of DNA analyses. However, according to Puisis, these activities are unethical according to NCCHC standards because these processes are carried out for forensic purposes. Although correctional physicians may need the results information for medical purposes, the ethical approach is therefore to use the services of an external medical provider (Puisis, 2006, p..24).
