Issues pertaining to organ donation and transplantation represent, perhaps, the most complex and morally controversial medical dilemmas aside from abortion and euthanasia. However these quandaries are not unsolvable. This book proposes compensating organ donors within a publicly controlled monopsony.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The evolution of organ transplantation and procurement policy -- Consequences of the current policy -- Social costs and benefits of transplants -- Economic and political causes of the shortage of organs -- Reforms short of open donor compensation -- An assessment of the moral basis of alternative organ donation rules -- Donor reaction to compensation and a proposal for a public monopsony for organ acquisition.
