The discourse on transplantation and brain death has become
emblematic of conflicts between certain perspectives on adequate
medical care, death and dying. Scientific and religious,
modernising and traditional as well as academic and popular voices
debate on how to approach these topics. This work captures the
heterogeneous and often contradictory views on the Malaysian
transplant venture and the treatment option of end stage organ
failure from the Malay and Chinese population, physicians, state
officials, and Muslim, Buddhist and Daoist clergy. It also
addresses vital issues as to the use of and extent to which
biomedicine and medical technology in contemporary Malaysia
actually benefits its people.
