TY - JOUR T1 - Giving Until it Hurts?: Altruistic Donation of Solid Organs JF - Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law Online JO - J Am Acad Psychiatry Law SP - 377 LP - 379 VL - 37 IS - 3 AU - Joseph H. Baskin Y1 - 2009/09/01 UR - http://jaapl.org/content/37/3/377.abstract N2 - The increased need for organs has led to greater acceptance of stranger or unrelated kidney donation. This broadening of the donor pool introduces challenges to the evaluation of such donors. Questions are raised regarding the obligation of an evaluator to explore the depth of the donor's intentions. The concept of altruism is explored as well as its impact on the consent process. ER -
