The purpose of the study is to determine the role of legal regulation of transplantation in Ukraine in its development by comparing it with legal regulation in the countries of the European Union and ways of its possible effective change. For this purpose, the following materials were used: international standards in the field of human organ and tissue transplantation, laws, regulations, and scientific articles. Among the methods and principles of scientific research, comparative-legal, systemic, structural-complex, historical-legal, formal-legal methods, methods of legal forecasting and content analysis were used. Research results: in Ukraine, in recent years, in the field of legal regulation of transplantation, the necessary legal prerequisites for the further development of this important area of medical activity have mainly been created, but they are not always effective. European countries have a stable transplant coordination service, with the highly qualified staff, and posthumous donation is fully regulated. Conclusions: the situation in the studied countries is opposite, both in the field of legal regulation of processes and in its specific results. Ukraine has not created a comprehensive system of successful human organ transplantation. The legal regulation of transplantation was ineffective. In the countries of the European Union, the rational content of the legal regulation of transplantation has led to the creation of an effective system of transplantation.
