Bloody Bioethics

Why Prohibiting Plasma Compensation Harms Patients and Wrongs Donors

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is the first book to argue in favor of paying people for their blood plasma. It does not merely argue that offering compensation to plasma donors is morally permissible. It argues that prohibiting donor compensation is morally wrong-and that it is wrong for all of the reasons that are offered against allowing donor compensation.

Rezensionen

"Overall, Taylor's book is well argued, clearly written, very accessible, and creative . . . [It] will be interesting to anyone who works in the debate about commodification and the ethics of markets, and it will also be interesting to bioethicists who work in sectors where compensation is prohibited for bodily services. Given that the book is not overly technical, it can be read by anyone with basic familiarity with bioethics."
