N2  - Pediatric organ transplantation remains a life-saving therapy, with donated organs being absolutely scarce resources. Efforts to both increase pediatric organ donation authorization by families of children declared dead by neurologic criteria and mitigate perception of conflicts of interest have resulted in frequent exclusion of physicians from this process. This article provides of focused review of pediatric organ donation in the setting of brain death, explores the breadth of consequences of physician exclusion in donation authorization requests, and provides an ethical framework defending physician involvement in the organ donation process for this patient population.
