Editorial Reviews: Product Description Since the beginning of its modern incarnation, transplantation has been an ethical timebomb. Questions have been raised about the rights of both recipient and donor, as well as the social, religious, and ethical propriety of transplantation itself. Not merely a collection of essays, New Harvest presents a dialog on the topic by members of the medical, legal, religious, and philosophical fields, all revolving around several basic issues: What are the limits of biomedical principles? Which ethical models should guide legislation? Brain death and the status of fetuses New concepts of human self-identity Brain tissue grafting, the interchangeability Reproductive and neurological transplantation of body parts, and genetic engineering Religious, psychiatric, legal and philosophical considerations. Insightful chapters, including one on the concept of self-identity, bring the religious, legal, historical, and more recent topics, such as brain tissue grafting and fetal transplants, into a unified structure. A book for the concerned layperson as well as the specialist, New Harvest is an enlightening summation of a concern that is at the forefront of biomedical ethics today.
