Abstract
There is not any doubt that the SCT procedure involves important ethical and legal aspects. The expectations of patients concerning the quality of life and the new way of treatment are certainly an important motivation for researchers and physicians. Societies in Europe seem to accept the idea of using their own or allogeneic stem cells for tissue engineering and transplantation. A physician should be aware of the standards established by tradition and act within the general principles that have governed professional conduct. The International Code of Ethics and the Declaration of Geneva (1948), developed and approved by the World Medical Association, have modernized the ancient codes. They have been endorsed by each member organization, including The Polish Medical Association, as a general guide with nationwide application. The Polish Chamber of Physicians accepts the responsibility of delineating the standard of ethical behavior expected of Polish physicians. An interpretation of the principles concerning SCT is developed in the following pages as a guide for individual SCT physicians.
