"Organ donors are, by definition, altruists, and their act is even more generous when they remain anonymous. But altruism doesn’t tell the whole story. There are myriad motivations, some subconscious, some conscious, that compel people to donate a part of themselves to someone they don’t know. The Organ Donor Experience uncovers the desires, personalities and motivations of Good Samaritan organ donors and reveals much about the process of donating an organ to a needy recipient"-- Provided by publisher..
