After fourteen years, the three main issues that Robert Veatch first outlined in his seminal study \u003ci\u003eTransplantation Ethics\u003c\/i\u003e still remain: deciding when human beings are dead; deciding when it is ethical to procure organs; and deciding how to allocate organs, once procured.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, much has changed. Enormous strides have been made in immunosuppression. Alternatives to the donation model are debated much more openly-living donors are used more widely and hand and face transplants have become more common, raising issues of personal identity. In this second edition of \u003ci\u003eTransplantation Ethics\u003c\/i\u003e, coauthored by Lainie F. Ross, transplant professionals and advocates will find a comprehensive update of this critical work on transplantation policies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert M.
