RT Journal Article SR Electronic 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 FD American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law SP 377 OP 379 VO 37 IS 3 A1 Joseph H. Baskin YR 2009 UL http://jaapl.org/content/37/3/377.abstract AB The increased need for organs has led to greater acceptance of stranger or unrelated kidney donation.
