Extract

The treatment of End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is one of the most widely debated topics in contemporary medicine. The high cost of the most usual treatment, hemodialysis, has been and still is the topic for numerous discussions concerning priorities in health care on the one hand, and various medical, psychological, and ethical problems of life “on the machine” on the other hand. The other treatment of ESRD, kidney transplantation, raises other, no less complicated questions such as the limits of medical experimentation, ownership of one's body, the donation of organs, organ procurement and allocation, and the definition of life and death. As Fox and Swazey put it “The importance of hemodialysis and human organ transplantation lies as much in their social and cultural significance as in their medical and surgical value” (27,376).
