The issue of xenotransplantation is the subject of this monograph. The author demonstrates that problems regarding the introduction of zoonoses into the human gene pool can be overcome. The book also considers costs, and the perception by some that using animals to keep dying humans alive is inherently cruel.

Examines the legal and ethical issues surrounding xenotransplantation. This book points out that xenotransplantation, which represents a deviation from medical practice and the possibility of transplantation of large segments of tissue, or whole organs from animals into humans, poses a set of considerations necessary to evaluate and understand. One of the leading causes of death is organ failure, that is, when one or other of the organs that run the machine we call the body gives out. However, whereas with a machine, spare parts can usually replace faulty parts, in the case of humans the supply of these is limited as it is dependent on organs being obtained from living or dead donors. Due to the limitations of supply, increasing attention is being paid to alternative schemes for obtaining organs. One of these possibilities is xenotransplantation: using organs from animals. In this book, the authors examine the legal and ethical issues surrounding xenotransplantation and consider the implications for the future. As they point out, xenotransplantation represents a major deviation from standard medical practice and the possibility of transplantation of large segments of tissue, or whole organs, from animals into humans poses an entirely novel set of considerations - ethical, legal and scientific - which is necessary to evaluate and understand.

"Perhaps no medical breakthrough in the twentieth century is more spectacular, more hope-giving, or more fraught with ethical questions than organ transplantation. Each year some 25,000 Americans are pulled back from the brink of death by receiving vital new organs. Another 5,000 die while waiting for them. And what distinguishes these two groups has become the source of one of our thorniest ethical questions." "In Raising the Dead, Ronald Munson offers a vivid, often wrenchingly dramatic account of how transplants are performed, how we decide who receives them, and how we engage the entire range of tough issues that arise because of them. Each chapter begins with a detailed account of a specific case - Mickey Mantle's controversial liver transplant for example - followed by careful analysis of its surrounding ethical questions (the charges that Mantle received special treatment because he was a celebrity, the large problems involving how organs are allocated, and whether alcoholics should have an equal claim on donor livers). In approaching transplant ethics through specific cases, Munson reminds us of the complex personal and emotional dimension that underlies such issues. The book also ranges beyond our present capabilities to explore the future possibilities in xenotransplantation (transplanting animal organs into humans) and stem cell technology that would allow doctors to grow new organs from the patient's own cells." "Based on extensive scientific research, but written with a novelist's eye for the human condition, Raising the Dead shows readers the reality of organ transplantation now, the possibility of what it may become, and how we might respond to the ethical challenges it forces us to confront."--Jacket.

Ce livre s'adresse principalement aux juristes, aux philosophes et aux bioéthiciens qui s'intéressent à la poussée expérimentale qui obsède les techniques médicales modernes. Il constitue une application de l'oeuvre du juriste Pierre Legendre sur la question des xénogreffes. Doublement ambitieux, l'ouvrage relie un commentaire du travail du plus important juriste francophone moderne et un problème tragique : celui de pallier par des organes de porc la pénurie d'organes humains à greffer.Cette approche inédite tend à faire apparaître le caractère idéologique de ce soin médical de pointe. Elle exige en outre du droit un ressaisissement quant à sa portée dogmatique plutôt que sa réduction à une technique secrétariale savante. Ce travail soulève, au-delà de l'évocation, la dangerosité virale pour la société non consentante à des contacts entre les espèces (la mutualisation du risque), la question des principes juridiques tenant le système du droit civil en état : la dignité de la personne humaine, son intégrité dans l'espèce. Une question de principe qui devrait marquer la limite à cette expérimentation médicale, même si celle-ci devait s'avérer techniquement praticable ou virologiquement neutre. Finalement, cet ouvrage adresse pour la première fois au grand public les questions éthiques véritables relatives à cette technique médicale.
