Description


Andrew Flescher objects to legalizing organ sales among living donors by going beyond concerns traditionally cited about social justice, commodification, and patient safety, and discusses what motivates major and costly acts of selflessness. This is the first book to deeply consider alternative solutions when re-examining the organ sales debate.
