 \n2. to make arrangements for examining and reporting on such questions with a view to promoting public understanding and discussion; this may lead, where needed, to the formulation of new guidelines by the appropriate regulatory or other body; and  \n[3. in](3. in) the light of the outcome of its work, to publish reports; and to make representations, as the Council may judge appropriate.  \nThe Nuffield Council on Bioethics is funded jointly by  \nthe Medical Research Council, the Nuffield Foundation, and the Wellcome Trust  \nAcknowledgments  \nIn writing this report, we have sought input from a wide range of sources and in a variety of ways (see Appendices 1 and 2) . We launched a public consultation to which both those professionally engaged in these issues, and interested individuals responded. We commissioned 'snapshot' reviews of the published evidence concerning three aspects of our enquiry: regulatory approaches in a number of other jurisdictions; factors identified as disposing people to donate, or not to donate; and the empirical results of offering material incentives in order to encourage people to donate. We held a series of factfinding meetings with experts, in order to inform the Working Party about technical and regulatory aspects of donation, and benefited from the generosity of many individuals willing to respond to specific queries. Towards the end of the Working Party's deliberations, we sought external comment on an earlier draft of the report from 13 peer reviewers working in a wide range of fields.  \nWe were very aware that even a well-publicised open consultation process will elicit responses primarily from those who are already interested in the issues at stake, whether for professional or personal reasons. Yet anyone may potentially be affected by the issues discussed in this report: both the possibility of donating one‟s bodily material, and the possibility of benefiting medically from others'donations may arise for anyone out of the blue. We were therefore keen to hear the voice of members of the public who do not at present have a particular stake in these issues but who at any point may acquire one as a potential donor or recipient. At a one-day 'deliberative event' organised on behalf of the Council, 40 members of the public were encouraged to consider and debate these issues.  \nThe responses we have received from these various consultative and evidence-gathering processes have played a central role in steering the Working Party's deliberations and in shaping the final report. We would like to express our gratitude to all those who were so generous with their time, expertise and experience.
