Description: 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. Wilkinson explores the ethical problems raised by policies for acquiring organs. Key topics include the rights of the dead, the role of the family, and the sale of organs.
