T3e    „The Nasty Side of Organ Transplanting“     Third Edition 2007

The Third Edition contains a considearbly enlarged and actualised text.
A chapter on donation after "heart-death" (Non-Heart-Beating Donors) has been added.

Link:     www.geocities.com/organdonate   is a very committed, extensive, and comprehensive homepage dealing with the topic “Organ Transplanting”.   The visit of this site is highly recommended.   Amongst other brilliant articles, the following text can be found there:

 „The Nasty Side of Organ Transplanting“,    an extremely well informed and consequently critical approach to the horrifying reality of organ transplanting.  Before deciding in favour or against an organ transplant, it will be crucially helpful to read this text. The amount of material and insider knowledge is unsurpassable.

Here the table of contents of that text is presented, with kind permission of Norman Barber. The text itself is still more shocking than the table of contents ever can be!
