First sentence: THE BIOETHICAL DEBATE over organ procurement does not go back much further than the first kidney transplant in 1954-only a moment in time in the history of the world's religions and cultures.
Description: "A medical ethicist who has been involved in the organ transplant debate for many years, Robert M. Veatch explores a variety of questions that continue to vex the transplantation community, offering his own solutions in many cases. Ranging from the most fundamental questions to recently emerging issues, Transplantation Ethics is the first complete and systematic account of the ethical and policy controversies surrounding organ transplants."--BOOK JACKET.
