Summary: | The expansion and development of organ transplantation as regular procedures in health care services has had an impact beyond the clinic. It has affected the legal, organizational and cultural conditions for the access, use and transfer of body parts for therapeutic and research purposes. In this book Nora Machado addresses the topic, aiming to illuminate problems and developments related to organ transplantation and high-tech medicine generally. The book also addresses a number of moral issues which increasingly confront this field.
