Description and Table of Contents
Description
In the medical field in general, and in the one of organ transplants in particular, what effect can the institutional agents' perceptions of equity have? "The Ethics of Medical Choice" shows through examples in France, Germany, Norway and the United States, the way in which the issue of equality of access by potential beneficiaries is handled. It emerges from this controversial study that universality of access is still a long way off.
