"With more than thirty of the most important, influential, and up-to-date articles from leaders in ethics, medicine, sociology, law, and politics, The Ethics of Organ Transplants examines the numerous and tangled issues that surround the debate over organ procurement and distribution: the search for new sources of organs, new methods of procurement, new ways of managing dying, and innovative strategies for fairly distributing this scarce life-saving resource."--Jacket.

A global comparison and analysis of the law relating to LDT. The work systematically analyzes the key ethical and legal issues in LDT, aided by data from transplant professionals, living donors and recipients. Extensive increases in LDT are shown to be necessary and feasible. This work is a global comparison and analysis of law relating to LDT. It also systematically analyzes the key ethical and legal issues in LDT. Aided by data from a programme of interviews with and questionnaires from transplant professionals, living donors and recipients, the book reaches conclusion as to the feasibility and need for increasing use of LDT in the light of current practice and attitudes and the growing shortage in kidneys (amongst other organs). Extensive increases in LDT use are shown to be necessary and feasibly achievable without compromising high ethical and legal standards. Detailed recommendations are made for the regulation of LDT.

In Death, Dying, and Organ Transplantation: Reconstructing Medical Ethics at the End of Life, Miller and Truog challenge fundamental doctrines of established medical ethics. They argue that the routine practice of stopping life support technology in hospitals causes the death of patients and that donors of vital organs (hearts, lungs, liver, and both kidneys) are not really dead at the time that their organs are removed for life-saving transplantation. These practices are ethically legitimate but are not compatible with traditional rules of medical ethics that doctors must not intentionally cause the death of their patients and that vital organs can be obtained for transplantation only from dead donors. In this book Miller and Truog undertake an ethical examination that aims to honestly face the reality of medical practices at the end of life. They expose the misconception that stopping life support merely allows patients to die from their medical conditions, and they dispute the accuracy of determining death of hospitalized patients on the basis of a diagnosis of "brain death" prior to vital organ donation. After detailing the factual and conceptual errors surrounding current practices of determining death for the purpose of organ donation, the authors develop a novel ethical account of procuring vital organs. In the context of reasonable plans to withdraw life support, still-living patients are not harmed or wronged by organ donation prior to their death, provided that valid consent has been obtained for stopping treatment and for organ donation. Recognizing practical difficulties in facing the truth regarding organ donation, the authors also develop a pragmatic alternative account based on the concept of transparent legal fictions. In sum, Miller and Truog argue that in order to preserve the legitimacy of end-of-life practices, we need to reconstruct medical ethics.

En 2008, en France, 222 patients sont décédés faute d'avoir reçu un greffon à temps, alors que seulement 4 620 greffes avaient été réalisées pour 13 687 personnes en attente. La pénurie est particulièrement aiguë pour les malades qui ont besoin d'un rein : on compte en moyenne seulement 1 greffon disponible pour 3 malades. Cette situation est assez générale en Europe, mais moins grave dans certains pays qui ont su développer, de différentes manières, une plus grande mobilisation des deux sources de greffons : les donneurs décédés et les donneurs vivants. Le séminaire qui s'est tenu à Paris les 6 et 7 mai 2009 s'est proposé de contribuer à la réflexion des autorités en charge de la révision des lois de bioéthique ainsi que, plus généralement, des milieux médicaux et de l'opinion publique, en apportant un éclairage européen sur les solutions possibles au déficit constaté. Des personnalités faisant autorité - médecins et chirurgiens, mais aussi juristes, sociologues, philosophes et responsables administratifs venant d'Allemagne, d'Espagne, d'Italie, de Grande-Bretagne, de Norvège, des Pays-Bas et de Suède - ont été invitées à présenter leurs expériences et à débattre des aspects éthiques associés, en présence de leurs homologues français et de responsables politiques. Cet ouvrage transcrit les interventions et les débats, souvent vifs, qui les ont suivies.

In the second volume of his trilogy, Petrinovich presents a detailed account of the dilemmas that humans in technologically advanced societies face when confronted by matters of life, death, and medical treatment. The issues he discusses include genetic screening, the Human Genome Project, criteria for defining death, organ donation and transplantation, and assisted suicide and euthanasia. Petrinovich also discusses healthcare policy issues such as the allocation of scarce medical resources and rationing. He argues for adequate health care as a fundamental moral necessity and makes a number of policy recommendations.
