Donner la vie, choisir sa mort
Plaidoyer pour une plus grande liberté et pour le respect accru de la volonté des personnes, cet ouvrage présente la bioéthique d’une façon concrète, pratique et accessible à tous. La bioéthique est née des progrès médicaux d’une part et de la nécessité de se prémunir contre toute répétition des horreurs pratiquées par les expérimentateurs nazis d’autre part. Cela a conduit à des règles très diversement définies dans les différents pays. La France est sous un régime éthique caractérisé par un dirigisme important et des responsabilités confiées essentiellement aux professionnels. Dans ce livre, il est proposé d’ouvrir un peu plus le champ de la responsabilisation individuelle, de privilégier les droits du malade et d’accroître le respect de la liberté (encadrée) de chacun. En pratique, cela implique notamment moins de restriction dans la procréation médicalement assistée et dans la possibilité pour les malades en fin de vie de choisir la modalité de leur mort.
Organ Allocation
Over the last few years, transplantation knowledge and techniques, as well as insights into pharmacology, have improved, thus enabling greater access to transplantation for patients. The pool of organs for transplantation is stable, and therefore insufficient to cope with the growing demand. To adjust demand and resources in the most equitable way, organ procurement and allocation have been organized nationally and often across borders. The national and international organ exchange programs were studied and discussed during the Congress on Organ Allocation, from which this book is derived. This book describes the state of the art in the management of waiting lists and the allocation of organs in transplantation. It includes chapters on the possibilities of expanding the pool of available cadaver organs. It also analyzes the results of transplantation of cadaver organs from older donors and marginal, non-heart beating donors. Transplantation policies based on the offering of organs by living donors are also described, as is the impact of delayed graft function on organ allocation.

Cancer in Transplantation: Prevention and Treatment
Malignancies are frequent complications in organ transplantation, mainly as the result of infection with certain viruses and of long-term immunosuppression. The epidemiology confirms that the increased incidence concerns certain cancers, especially HIV-related skin cancers and EBV-related lymphoproliferative malignancies. This book covers all currently available information on this important topic of the relationships between transplantation and malignancies: preexisting cancers, posttransplant cancers, their etiology and pathophysiology, their prevention and treatment. A significant part of the volume is devoted to prophylaxis, early detection and modern forms of therapy in posttransplant lymphomas. As a conclusion of all these new data, the theory of immunosurveillance deserves to be significantly modified.
