Description

談到死亡,我們往往為之色變,可曾想過死亡之後,生命還能藉著愛來延續? 「器官捐贈及移植」是香港醫療歷史中十分重要卻常被忽視的課題。然而香港的器官捐贈及移植歷史,早已發展了半世紀。自1969年首宗遺體腎臟移植開始,一眾救死扶危的醫護在緊絀的條件下不斷努力,使一個個瀕死的生命得到拯救;相關法例與政策也與時俱進,逐步完善。 香港器官移植基金會與香港浸會大學歷史系合作開展「香港器官捐贈及移植口述歷史計劃」,訪問從六十年代開始參與器官捐贈及移植的醫護人員、政府官員及機構負責人,還有那些偉大的捐贈者和家屬,以及獲得重生的受贈者。本書留下了寶貴記錄,讓我們看到他們從不同角度分享器官移植及捐贈,當中面對的困難、經歷的掙扎,以及生命得以延續的喜悅。
