Good Samaritans and the Meaning of Altruism

Katrina A. Bramstedt, Ph.D. and Rena Brown have collaborated to write The Organ Donor Experience, which will release later this year.

A note from Katrina from the Good Samaritans and the Meaning of Altruism blog:

Nearly two years of work has resulted in a new and unique book about Good Samaritan organ donation. Good Samaritans are living donors who give a kidney, lung lobe, liver tissue, pancreas tissue or intestinal segment to a stranger. The recipient is not a friend, co-worker, spouse or relative, but a stranger. Often the donor never even meets the organ recipient. Yes, there is great kindness and compassion in the world. Read the book and learn more about these everyday people who self-sacrifice for the benefit of others. My co-author and I are grateful to the 22 donors interviewed in the book, as well as our publisher, Rowman & Littlefield. Mark your calendar for the October 2011 book release.
