In Replacement Parts, internationally recognized bioethicist Arthur
L. Caplan and coeditors James J. McCartney and Daniel P. Reid
assemble seminal writings from medicine, philosophy, economics, and
religion that address the ethical challenges raised by organ
transplantation. Caplan's new lead essay explains the shortfalls of
present policies. From there, book sections take an
interdisciplinary approach to fundamental issues like the
determination of death and the dead donor rule; the divisive case
of using anencephalic infants as organ donors; the sale of
cadaveric or live organs; possible strategies for increasing the
number of available organs, including market solutions and the idea
of presumed consent; and questions surrounding transplant tourism
and "gaming the system" by using the media to gain access to
organs. Timely and balanced, Replacement Parts is a
first-of-its-kind collection aimed at surgeons, physicians, nurses,
and other professionals involved in this essential lifesaving
activity that is often fraught with ethical controversy.
