Veterinary donation: To what extent can the ethical justifications for living human donation be applied to living animal donation?Tools Ashall, Vanessa (2017) Veterinary donation: To what extent can the ethical justifications for living human donation be applied to living animal donation? PhD thesis, University of Nottingham.
AbstractThis thesis develops the scant existing literature which explores the ethical justifications for living animal donation in the veterinary setting and contributes to the considerable research on social and ethical aspects of human living donation. The work argues that whilst some justifications for human living donation are not-transferable, others may be adapted and applied to the veterinary setting. The unique social context of veterinary donation is analysed, using novel empirical analysis to refine and contextualize the ethical arguments made. The research methods entail an innovative comparative ethical analysis and a qualitative empirical study which are integrated using an empirical bioethics approach.
