Summary

This volume brings together a wide range of views on the ethical, legal, and policy questions that have shaped the often-heated debate about organ and tissue donation in the 1990s. In this edited volume, Bethany Spielman includes selected papers from a 1995 conference cosponsored by the Department of Medical Humanities of the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine and the "Life Goes On" Organ/Tissue Donor Awareness Program of the Illinois Secretary of State. Seventeen distinguished experts from the fields of bioethics, medicine, law, history, philosophy, and public policy consider questions integral to the foundations and operations of organ donation in the 1990s.
