Transplantation Ethics – Robert M. Veatch (Paperback / Soft Cover)

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.
