商品描述

Beside the fascination in the feasibility and the remarkable advances in the impressive development of transplantation medicine, it is beset with a considerable issues and concerns which still remain to be addressed to in a meaningful context: equity in organ allocation, the contradiction between a high acceptance of organ donation in the German society according to surveys and the low willingness to give consent, and deficit in reporting possible organ donors from the hospital.

With informed consent as a useful legal frame, this likewise impels the next of kin to make a decision for or against organ donation during the grueling moments at the bedside of their beloved moribund relative. What layouts in the healthcare system as well as in legal and ethical structures can promote or obviate organ donation as an indispensable essential for a transplantation? Is xenotransplantation a hopeful alternative to human organ transplantation?

With remarkable accuracy and elaborate knowledge, this book offers an interesting and absorbing yet provocative evidence-based avenue, of expounding into these questions. Although based on German experience, it will provide a valuable and updated governance to all those who, even in other countries, for private or professional interests, want to be informed and comprehensively reckon with the diverse medical, ethical, organizational, political and economic facets of an extraordinary field of medicine.

This is an open access book.

除了對移植醫學的可行性和令人印象深刻的進展感到迷人之外,它還面臨著一系列重要問題和關注,這些問題仍然需要在有意義的背景下加以解決:器官分配的公平性、根據調查在德國社會中對器官捐贈的高接受度與低意願給予同意之間的矛盾,以及醫院報告可能的器官捐贈者的不足。

在知情同意作為一個有用的法律框架下,這同樣促使親屬在摯愛垂危親人的床邊做出有關器官捐贈的決定。在醫療系統以及法律和倫理結構方面,什麼樣的佈局可以促進或消除器官捐贈作為移植的不可或缺的要素?異種移植是否是人體器官移植的有希望的替代方案?

本書以卓越的準確性和詳盡的知識,提供了一個有趣且引人入勝的、基於證據的途徑,深入探討這些問題。雖然基於德國的經驗,但它將為所有那些即使在其他國家,出於私人或專業利益,都希望獲得全面了解並全面考慮這個非凡醫學領域的各種醫學、倫理、組織、政治和經濟方面的人提供有價值且最新的指導。
