Resumen:
SUMMARY In this article the ethical aspects of organ transplants analyzed in the current social framework of technological globalization and regional integration. For  this purpose we studied the transplant national legislation of Brazil, Uruguay, Chile and Argentina. The Asymmetries and common pints among them were established by applying to the above mentioned analysis an ethical theory that allow justify the publicly acceptable moral criteria of every rational and impartial person in the topic of organ transplants. Finally, considering the irreversibility of the integration process carried out by our countries -MERCOSUR- the establishment of Supranational Commission on Bioethics and Organ Transplants is proposed. This entity would be called to establish common ethical criteria, harmonizing our legislations and preparing agreements and protocols in order to promote the availability, the regional interchange of organs and the equal access to trasplants.
