Eleven  chapters by physicians, philosophers, and theologians present the case  against brain-based criteria for human death. Each author believes  that this position calls into question the moral acceptability of the  transplantation of unpaired vital organs from brain-dead patients who  have continuing function of the circulatory system. One strength of  the book is its international approach to the question: contributors  are from the United States, the United Kingdom, Liechtenstein, and  Japan. This book will appeal to a wide audience, including physicians  and other health care professionals, philosophers, theologians,  medical sociologists, and social workers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-09-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792365785\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/0-306-46882-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 274\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481537114252,"sku":"9780792365785","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792365785.jpg?v=1779935230","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792365785","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
