Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Once dialysis treatment, in 1960, permitted life prolongation for some but not all patients in kidney failure, an `ethical genie' was released. The introduction of peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplantation compounded the physician's dilemma by undersco…ring those left untreated. Who should be selected for uremia therapy Should exclusion from treatment be properly delegated to administrators or physicians, or better left to a committee Are some candidates more worthy than others As examples: Do Presidents and Kings warrant priority in cadaver organ allocation over ordinary citizens Are rich people more deserving than the poor Is it ethical to choose a younger over an older patient Can children and/or mentally incompetent persons serve as living organ donors Is it proper to market organs under controlled circumstances Eli A. Friedman, an experienced nephrology training program director, and Medical Advisor to the American Association of Kidney Patients, has collected 24 difficult cases that focus on these and other vexing though common stressful issues faced by those who manage kidney patients. Using a novel approach to each case, the opinions of lawyers, nephrologists, patients, and a transplant surgeon are proffered sequentially. Friedman asks and then answers searching questions arising from the debate. The quality of information presented is positively flavored by the fact that three of the respondents (one an attorney) are kidney transplant recipients. Members of the kidney team, those immersed in seeking truth in medical ethics, and all participating in exploring the legality or ethical basis of organ replacement will find this book pertinent to their effort.
