Abstract
"Indeed, it is the unusual selection of topics that strikes one's attention. "Is life worth living?", a provocatively entitled essay, deals with PVS, DNR orders and euthanasia. The Alder Hey incident has done great disservice to foetal and paediatric autopsies; this can be seen by the many articles in recent issues of paediatric journals emphasising that there is no substitute for the information that the autopsy can give. Thus, we have a chapter on "Disposal 30 | P a g e of the body and body parts". Among other things, the authors play devil's advocate and pose the question: "If a daughter had suffered from a renal disease, a parent can legally and ethically donate a kidney to her. Why then is it immoral to sell the organ for treatment of a non-renal disease in the daughter?""
