Global Organ Shortage - Economic Causes, Human Consequences, Policy Responses

Zusatztext "In most countries, the channels for organ procurement impose intolerable burdens on ill patients. This book examines the organ shortage from many different angles in search of resolution. Big problems generally require market-based solutions, and the authors show that this issue is no exception to that rule. Their proposal for a compensated system of organ procurement deserves to be widely read and debated." Informationen zum Autor T.
