註釋Will pigs soon be the main providers of vital organs, tissues and cells which could be transferred into human beings? What do we know about legislation concerning organ donation after death? Where is the dividing line between life and death? Developments in transplant surgery are providing new lifelines for those in serious need of replacement kidneys, hearts, skin grafts, etc., but with new solutions come new dangers. In this readable volume many of the complex ethical issues related to these are discussed, such as the dangers of organ trafficking, problems linked to patient waiting lists, organ shortages, and so on. Reflecting the diverse attitudes towards transplants which are held throughout Europe, the book includes articles by religious, scientific and legal experts and philosophers. It enables both specialists and non-specialists to increase their understanding of the issues at stake. It also presents the Council of Europe's essential work in this field, in terms of both practical organisational assistance and Europe-wide legislation.
