Description - Transplantation Ethics by Robert M. Veatch
Three decades after the first heart transplant surgery stunned the world, organs including eyes, lungs, livers, kidneys and hearts are transplanted everyday. However, despite its routine nature - or perhaps because of it - transplantation offers enormous ethical challenges. Veatch offers a systematic account of the ethical controversies surrounding organ transplants. He structures his discussion around three major topics: the definition of death; the procurement of organs; and the allocation of organs. He addresses both fundamental questions and recently emerging issues, offering his own solutions in many instances. Complete with case studies, this book is intended for a broad cross-section of people interested in the ethics of transplantation from either the medical or public policy perspective.
