Abstract

"The Ethics of Global Organ Acquisition: Moral Arguments about Transplantation" by Trevor Stammers explores the ethical arguments surrounding solid organ transplantation. The author emphasizes the importance of maintaining public trust in the organ supply system to ensure a sufficient supply of transplant organs. The book discusses various topics including the success of organ donation efforts in the UK, the ethics of living and deceased donation, organ donation following euthanasia, organ trafficking, and the potential of bioengineered organs. The author presents a balanced and nuanced approach to these controversial topics, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the ethical considerations in organ transplantation.
