      Organ transplantation has been one of the miracles of modern-day medicine but, in addition to presenting enormous technical and clinical challenges, it throws up major ethical and legal issues principally from the perspective of the donor. Evolving capabilities in the spheres of both organ and tissue transplantation, coupled with rapidly-escalating demand, assert consistent and critical pressure on our ethical and legal principles and frameworks, including the expansion of the potential donor pool beyond the conventional categories of donor. This volume brings together seminal papers analyzing such matters in the context of an ever-increasingly important area of clinical practice.

      Mention "British cinema" and Hammer horror films or Ealing comedies are frequently all that come to mind. Although there has been no sustained film movement in Britain akin to the French New Wave or Italian Neo-Realism, there is a rich diversity of talent among contemporary British filmmakersthat rarely receives the attention it deserves. This collection of essays and in-depth interviews examines the careers and aspirations of ten directors--Stephen Frears, Ken Loach, Lindsay Anderson, Bill Forsyth, Peter Greenaway, Derek Jarman, Nicolas Roeg, Richard Attenborough, Alan Parker, andJohn Schlesinger. The book looks at their different styles and techniques, their influences, their attitudes toward working with actors and raising money, and their relationships with their audiences. Take Ten offers revealing insights into the working methods and tastes of these importantdirectors. It will be essential reading for all interested in British and contemporary film.
