Transplantation is a medically successful and cost-effective way to
treat people whose organs have failed-but not enough organs are
available to meet demand. Ethics and the Acquisition of Organs is
concerned with the major ethical problems raised by policies for
acquiring organs. The main topics are the rights of the dead, the
role of the family, opt in and opt out systems, the conscription of
organs, living organ donation from adults and children, directed
donation and priority for donors, and the sale of organs. In this
ground-breaking work, T. M. Wilkinson uses concepts from moral and
political theory such as autonomy, rights, posthumous interests,
justice, and well-being, in a context informed by the clinical,
legal, and policy aspects of transplantation. The result is a
rigorous philosophical exploration of real problems and options. He
argues that the ethics of acquiring organs for transplantation is
not only of great intellectual interest, but also of practical
importance. As such, this book will be of profit not only to
students and academics who work in applied ethics and bioethics,
but also to the lawyers, policy-makers, clinicians, and lobby
groups interested in transplantation.
