"Professor Stammers provides an impressively comprehensive and in-depth account of a wide range of ethical issues in organ transplantation at individual, institutional, societal and global levels. This book sounds important warnings and is essential reading for anyone considering the ethics and law of organ transplantation, indeed, for everyone in Bioethics." -- Margaret Somerville, Professor of Bioethics, University of Notre Dame, Australia "This book provides a much-needed ethics update on recent developments and emerging approaches in global organ acquisition and transplantation. Trevor Stammers is an experienced doctor and prominent ethicist whose extensive teaching experience presents in a clear manner a treasure trove of information for patients and families, students, scholars, clinicians, and policymakers." -- Gerard Magill, PhD Gallagher Chair & Professor Center for Global Health Ethics, Duquesne University, USA "Bringing the debate about the ethics of organ donation and sale up to date, to include the effects of the Covid pandemic, Trevor Stammers provides a wide-ranging and well-balanced discussion of these crucial issues. Throughout this book the emphasis is on public trust and real-life cases, handled with sensitivity and careful analysis." -- Donna Dickenson, Emeritus Professor of Medical Ethics and Humanities, University of London, UK "A fascinating, academic and accessible read. Despite having a controversial and occasionally ugly history, organ transplantation remains a practice with unparalleled power to extend life and improve its quality; readers should take careful note of the author's closing advice that everyone ought to make a decision about organ transplantation and inform those close to them of their wishes.
