Kidney for Sale by Owner
I am in receipt of a new book put out by Georgetown University Press. The author is bioethicist, Dr. Mark J. Cherry. The Title: "Kidney for sale by owner: Human Organs, Transplantation and the Market".I have yet to read this book (it just arrived yesterday) but I will be curious to see how he supports his position that an organ market not only is legitimate but indeed humane. Certainly we all know there is a huge critical shortage of organs available for transplantation. People die each day waiting on a donor list. And we need to find creative and ethical ways to deal with this shortage. I have always asserted that a market based solution will be at first glance, an attractive solution, but putting it into practice quickly demonstrates the problems with monetary incentives to 'donate' or give the gift of life. Is altruism dead in the 21st century?
