Produktbeschreibung

This volume examines the issue of human organ trafficking from the perspectives of criminal justice, business, medicine, ethics, philosophy, and theology. It presents case studies of the trafficking of body parts occurring in the U.S. and Mexico, examines the increase in organ harvesting from Chinese prisoners, and describes widespread instances of trafficking in Europe. It discusses the economic ramifications of possible legislation of the sale of body parts and explores ethical issues surrounding the kidney shortage and incentives to promote donation. It also offers arguments for and against compensation for transplant organs from philosophical and religious perspectives.
