Daar AS. Money and organ procurement: Narratives from the real world. In: Gutmann TH, Daar AS, Sells RA, Land W, . Munich: Pabst Publishers; 2004. pp. 368–377. editors. Ethical, legal, and social issues in organ transplantation.

history of transplants is explained. Major milestones are shown here.
Raising the Dead: Organ Transplants, Ethics and Society, by Ronald Munson. Published by Oxford University Press.
In this book "Raising the Dead," real medical miracles involve causing a person's illness to disappear - the example of antibiotics is the clearest and most common. Organ transplants do not do this however: because a recipient has to take anti-rejection drugs for the rest of their lives, always fearing an infection which will get past their now-suppressed immune system, transplants simply trade one acute illness for another chronic condition.
The Ethics of Organ Transplants: The Current Debate,ed. Arthur L. Caplan and Daniel H. Coehlo. Published by Prometheus Books.
What are the sources of organs used in transplantation? How can we make the procurement system more efficient? Should we pay for organs? Should someone who has already received one transplant be allowed a second? Should alcoholics be given liver transplants? Are transplants really worth the tremendous costs?

Although donation may be permissible or even obligatory based on the principle of loving one's neighbor, does it violate biblical teaching in other areas such as the resurrection of the body, totality, self-mutilation, prolonging life and natural order? The second major category involves issues concerning the body itself
