Dr. Fry-Revere's exploration of the medical ethics of compensating organ donors takes us deep inside Iranian culture to provide insight and understanding into how Iran has solved its kidney shortage. The kidney sellers: a journey of discovery in Iran addresses the question: How it is possible that in Iran there is a waiting list to be a donor, while in the United States hundreds of thousands of people have died for lack of a kidney? Dr. Fry-Revere is the first Westerner ever to witness firsthand Iran's organ procurement system. She shares what she discovered in this fascinating book: part diary of living in a dangerous country, part ethnographic essay, and part tale of people working together to overcome death and financial ruin. The kidney sellers is a shocking, thought-provoking true story"--Publisher's description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 211-228) and index. 505 0 $a No turning back -- Getting there -- Transplanting organs and ideas -- Law, hypocrisy, and the black market -- Bargaining for body parts -- The poor and the "lucky" -- The rich and the holy -- Organs for opium -- Too poor to pay -- Making my way home. 650 0 $a Kidneys $x Moral and ethical aspects $x Moral and ethical aspects $z Iran. 650 0 $a Kidneys $x Psychological aspects. $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Procurement of organs, tissues, etc. $x Moral and ethical aspects $z Iran. 650 0 $a Procurement of organs, tissues, etc. $x Economic aspects $z Iran. 650 0 $a Medical ethics $z Iran. 650 12 $a Kidney Transplantation $x ethics $z Iran $v Personal Narratives. $2 [MeSH] 650 22 $a Living Donors $x ethics $z Iran $v Personal Narratives. $2 [MeSH] 650 22 $a Tissue and Organ Procurement $x ethics $z Iran $v Personal Narratives. $2 [MeSH] 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020020303.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DF896530957111E48BB50097DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
