Organ transplantation has been one of the miracles of modern-day medicine but, in addition to presenting enormous technical and clinical challenges, it throws up major ethical and legal issues principally from the perspective of the donor. Evolving capabilities in the spheres of both organ and tissue transplantation, coupled with rapidly-escalating demand, assert consistent and critical pressure on our ethical and legal principles and frameworks, including the expansion of the potential donor pool beyond the conventional categories of donor. This volume brings together seminal papers analyzing such matters in the context of an ever-increasingly important area of clinical practice.
'Organ and tissue transplantation continues to generate heated debate within the broad disciplines of medical law and medical ethics. For the first time here is a volume which will help to provoke, stimulate and promote ongoing debate by bringing together a wide selection of key sources and cutting edge materials within this important and developing area.' R.D. Mackay, De Montfort University, UK 'David Price is one of the leading international experts in the ethics and law of organ and tissue transplantation. This collection is a reflection of that expertise; timely, comprehensive and balanced yet simultaneously thought-provoking. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the issues or working in the field.' Heather Draper, University of Birmingham, UK
