About this book

This book offers a theoretical and practical overview of the specific ethical and legal issues in pediatric organ transplantation. Written by a team of leading experts, Ethical Issues in Pediatric Organ Transplantation addresses those difficult ethical questions concerning clinical, organizational, legal and policy issues including donor, recipient and allocation issues. Challenging topics, including children as donors, donation after cardiac death, misattributed paternity, familial conflicts of interest, developmental disability as a listing criteria, small bowel transplant, and considerations in navigating the media are discussed. It serves as a fundamental handbook and resource for pediatricians, transplant health care professionals, trainees, graduate students, scholars, practitioners of bioethics and health policy makers.

Reviews

“This book is strongly recommended for professionals working in the area of paediatric organ transplantation. It offers a theoretical and practical overview of the unique ethical, practical and legal issues in paediatric transplantation … . Topics are scholarly and well researched, elegantly presented, with the scientific rigor of an academic publication. … this book will contribute to building awareness and anticipating problems in this field with a view to instituting policy and protection of a vulnerable paediatric population.” (Olinda Timms, The National Medical Journal of India, Vol. 30 (3), May- June, 2017)



“This book is an important contribution to the literature both in pediatric transplantation and transplantation ethics. … it is certainly one that should be available in every pediatric center’s library and available to all members of the various transplant programs.” (R. B. Ettenger, American Journal of Transplantation, January, 2017)
