It offers a theoretical and practical overview of the unique ethical, practical and legal issues in paediatric transplantation ... .

"This book is an important contribution to the literature both in pediatric transplantation and transplantation ethics. ... it is certainly one that should be available in every pediatric center's library and available to all members of the various transplant programs."
