About this listen
This audiobook on organ transplantation delves into the most profound and controversial dilemmas of modern medicine, addressing ethical, medical, and technological issues that challenge the boundaries of medical practice. With the global shortage of donors and the growing demand for organs, the book explores topics such as organ commercialization, the illegal transplant market, and technological innovations, including bioengineering and xenotransplantation, which promise to shape the future of transplantation.
This audiobook dives into the most controversial debates, highlighting justice in access to transplants, the exploitation of living donors in vulnerable contexts, and the dilemmas associated with the potential regulation of the organ trade. Questions such as the impact of organ sales on individual freedom and the risks of perpetuating socioeconomic inequalities are critically analyzed, inviting listeners to reflect on the ethical and moral aspects of this practice.
Additionally, this audiobook examines the psychological and social impacts on both recipients and donors, emphasizing the emotional and ethical challenges arising from both the legal and clandestine organ markets. Medical bioethics plays a central role, analyzing principles such as beneficence, autonomy, and justice. This work is essential reading for physicians, researchers, bioethics students, and anyone interested in the challenges and innovations that organ transplantation will face in the coming decades.
