The ethics of transplants : why careless thought costs lives / Janet Radcliffe Richards. Oxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, 2014. x, 278 p. ; 23 cm. Includes bibliographical references (268-274) and index. Introduction -- Procurement from the living -- Methodological morals -- Procurement from the dead -- Penumbral problems. Argues that although people have strong feelings about their own organs, the deepest problems may not lie in a simple unwillingness to make them available, but in legal and institutional restrictions on the choices they are allowed to make. Through a series of arguments the author concludes that these restrictions are not justified by our normal moral standards, and are not even a response to popular demand, but lie in deep preconceptions of the people who make the rules. Careless moral reasoning, like careless medical practice, really can cost lives.--From publisher description. Transplantation of organs, tissues, etc. Moral and ethical aspects.
