As part of a 15-volume virtual library on bioethics, this reader collects classics and other interdisciplinary writings (1976-2004) on issues in this burgeoning field. Price (De Monfort U., UK) introduces 29 contributed chapters commencing with US and European medical and legal views on the meaning of death (different degrees of brain deadness vs. the non-beating heart). Other themes include the body as property, commerce in organ procurement, cadaveric organ and tissue donation, living donor transplantation, specific classes of donors (e.g., pediatric), and equitable organ allocation. Contributions also tackle such debated issues as fetal tissue transplants, harvesting of organs from patients in permanent vegetative states, and xenotransplantation of organs from other species. The volume contains a name index but no subject index. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
