Organs for Sale is a study of the bioethical question of how to
increase human organ supply. But it is also an inquiry into public
moral deliberation and the relationship between economic worth and
the value systems of a society. Looking closely at human organ
procurement debates, the author offers a critique of neoliberalism
in bioethics and asks what kind of society we truly want. While
society has shown concern over debates surrounding organ
procurement, a better understanding of the rhetoric of advocates
and philosophical underpinnings of the debate might indeed improve
our public moral deliberation in general and organ policy more
specifically. Examining public arguments, this book uses a range of
source material, from medical journals to congressional hearings to
newspaper op-eds, to provide the most up-to-date and thorough
analysis of the topic. Organs for Sale posits that deciding
together on the limits of markets, and on what is and ought to be
for sale, sheds light on the moral fibre of our society and what it
needs to thrive.
