Organ Substitution Technology

About the Book

The development of organ substitution technology has been among the most dramatic and publicized advances in modern medicine. Organ transplantation and artificial organ implantation have created exciting possibilities for health care; previously untreatable conditions are being significantly ameliorated, and lives are being saved. At the same time, the technology raises daunting social problems: How are patients to be selected? How are organs to be made available? What problems may be created by prolonging the lives of recipients? Who will pay for the technology? And who really will benefit from it?

These questions cannot be answered solely by medical criteria or by appeals to standards of efficiency or "the market." Policymakers must deal with ethical concerns as well as medical and economic ones. In particular, satisfactory policy must recognize the values of fairness and patient autonomy.

Although the focus of this book is organ substitution technology, many of the issues discussed are quite general and directly relevant to other health care technologies. Of special interest is a section of papers devoted to problems raised by the development of the artificial heart.

These and other issues are treated dispassionately but sensitively and in depth by leading scholars from medicine, law, economics, philosophy, and political science. Recognized as authorities in their respective fields, they take definite and often provocative stands on concrete issues of social policy. Professor Mathieu's lucid introductions provide an accurate scientific and historical background, as well as a systematic conceptual and normative framework of the policy issues.

The essays, most of which appear here for the first time, will prove essential reading for scholars, students, and interested citizens concerned with health care, medical ethics, or public policy studies.
