Legal and Ethical Aspects of Organ Transplantation
Editorial Reviews
Review
'The limited space of this review is impossible to do justice to the full complexities of the arguments advanced in the Legal and Ethical Aspects of Organ Transplantation. Perhaps the most crucial thread, which underpins the text, is the emphasis upon the need for respect for individual autonomy and upon the cultural and community context within which such transplantation decisions are made. ... Legal and Ethical Aspects of Organ Transplantation is an excellent book which will undoubtedly be one of the first ports of call for scholars in the area.' Medical Law Review
'Legal and Ethical Aspects of Organ Transplantation is an excellent book which will undoubtedly be one of the first ports of call for scholars in the area.' Jean McHale, University of Leicester
' ... an impressively-researched volume, a cornucopia of relevant data and interesting material, and deserves to become a standard work of reference. It will be a valuable resource for those involved in the clinical, ethical, legal, and public policy aspects of transplantation. ... Price's consideration of these questions is often thoughtful, balanced and challeging.' The Cambridge Law Journal
Review
"...it is evident that this book was a major undertaking and it is admirable in many respects. It is bountiful with historical, medical, legal, and ethical information and affords readers the opportunity to understand the global implications of organ transplantation...I recommend Price's book without hesitation...The scope and detail of Price's book assure that virtually everyone will learn something. Most people will learn much." Medical Humanities Review
"The topics studied in this volume are thought-provoking and, as medical science advances in geometric progression, of particular relevance and importance....Mr. Price's volume is an extremely valuable selection for legislators and other policy makers, philosophers, ethicists, health care professionals, and, indeed, anyone with an interest in being enlightened by a most-scholarly work." New York Law Journal
"Price (medical law, De Montfort Univ., UK), a noted expert in the field of transplantation, effectively explores the human drama and the ethical and legal complexities associated with organ transplantation...The book is well written, effectively organized, and has extensive footnotes." Choice
"He presents innovative and useful ways to increase the supply of donor organs. In addition, he provides perspective and insight on the needs and interests of the donors, recients, clinicians, and society at large, suggesting ways to balance the forces acting on these stakeholders. The book is well written, effectively organized, and has extensive footnotes." CHOICE Jul 2001
