      abstract = {Although organ transplants provide the best, and often the  only, effective therapy for many otherwise fatal  conditions, the great benefits of transplantation go  largely unrealized because of failures in the organ  acquisition process. In the United States, for instance,  more than 10,000 people die every year either awaiting  transplantation, or as a result of deteriorating health  exacerbated by the shortage of organs. Issues pertaining to  organ donation and transplantation represent, perhaps, the  most complex and morally controversial medical dilemmas  aside from abortion and euthanasia.},
