商品簡介
Kaserman (economics, Auburn U., U.S.) and Barnett (economics, American U. of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates) push privatization into the realm of organ procurement. Sponsored by the Washington-based think tank, the American Enterprise Institute, the text argues that the current government regulations regarding organ donation rely on a voluntary process that leads to shortages. They survey the literature related to this issue, examine alternative systems, and conclude that a market-based, for-profit system would work better at providing organs. The first author, who has received two kidney transplants, spent four years on dialysis while waiting for donor organs. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
