Chicago : University of Chicago Press, 2006. 1 online resource (xiii, 193 p.) : ill., maps. Includes bibliographical references (p. 169-183) and index. More than any other altruistic gesture, blood and organ donation exemplifies the true spirit of self-sacrifice. Donors literally give of themselves for no reward so that the life of an individual--often anonymous--may be spared.
