"The Organ Thieves" by Chip Jones

Learn the devastating way in which medicine has advanced over time. Learn how a black man lost his life because a surgeon was thinking only of himself and his want to be the first transplant surgeon to take a heart from one and give it to another. 

This is a brilliantly written book that will open your eyes to how the medical field of transplantation got to where it is  today. It will show you the horrors of how some people were sacrificed to try to save another. 

In the not so distant past, transplants were rare and were learned on dogs and primates. The advancement to human subjects is what this book is about. 

HIPAA was made into law in 1966 because of this horror. We now have rights.

Human rights and the medical world are faded. To what end do we need to go to advance medicine?

Chip, thank you SO much for writing this book! It's brilliant!
