In reality, the line between illicit trafficking and admirable donation is not so sharply drawn. Those entangled in the legal, social, and commercial dimensions of transplanting organs must reconcile motives, bureaucracy, and medical desperation. Matching Organs with Donors: Legality and Kinship in Transplants examines the tensions between law and practice in the world of organ transplants-and the inventive routes patients may take around the law while going through legal processes. In this sensitive ethnography, Marie-Andrée Jacob reveals the methods and mindsets of doctors, administrators, gray-sector workers, patients, donors, and sellers in Israel's living kidney transplant bureaus. Matching Organs with Donors describes how suitable matches are identified between donor and recipient using terms borrowed from definitions of kinship. Jacob presents a subtle portrait of the shifting relationships between organ donors/sellers, patients, their brokers, and hospital officials who often accept questionably obtained organs. Jacob's incisive look at the cultural landscapes of transplantation in Israel has wider implications. Matching Organs with Donors deepens our understanding of the law and management of informed consent, decision-making among hospital professionals, and the shadowy borders between altruism and commerce. 410 0$aContemporary ethnography. 606 $aTransplantation of organs, tissues, etc$zIsrael 606 $aTransplantation of organs, tissues, etc$zUnited States 606 $aDonation of organs, tissues, etc$zIsrael 606 $aDonation of organs, tissues, etc$zUnited States 606 $aOrgan donors$zIsrael 606 $aOrgan donors$zUnited States 606 $aKidneys$xTransplantation$zIsrael 606 $aKidneys$xTransplantation$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTransplantation of organs, tissues, etc. 615 0$aTransplantation of organs, tissues, etc. 615 0$aDonation of organs, tissues, etc. 615 0$aDonation of organs, tissues, etc. 615 0$aOrgan donors 615 0$aOrgan donors 615 0$aKidneys$xTransplantation 615 0$aKidneys$xTransplantation 676 $a617.9/54 700 $aJacob$b Marie-Andre?e$f1975-$01051202 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463578903321 996 $aMatching organs with donors$92481542 997 $aUNINA
