Legal and Ethical Aspects of Organ Transplantation (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780521651646)

Organ transplantation raises singularly difficult ethical and legal issues in its requirement for donated organs. Strategies to facilitate supply in the face of increasing demand must be ethically sound and subject to an appropriate and effective regulatory framework. Professor David Price gives a comprehensive analysis of existing laws and policies governing transplantation practices around the world. He examines the meaning of death, cadaver organ procurement policies, use of living donors, trading in human organs, experimental transplant procedures and xenotransplantation. Professor Price identifies the specific challenges in current practices and future developments.
