Although the history of organ transplant has its roots in ancient
Christian mythology, it is only in the past fifty years that body
parts from a dead person have successfully been procured and
transplanted into a living person. After fourteen years, the three
main issues that Robert Veatch first outlined in his seminal study
Transplantation Ethics still remain: deciding when human beings are
dead; deciding when it is ethical to procure organs; and deciding
how to allocate organs, once procured. However, 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 Transplantation Ethics, coauthored by Lainie F. Ross, transplant
professionals and advocates will find a comprehensive update of
this critical work on transplantation policies.
