There was an error in an article published in the August issue of the journal (Schicktanz S, Schweda M. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure: exploring economic and moral subtexts of the “organ shortage” problem in public views on organ donation. J Med Ethics 2009;35:473–6). The first sentence at the top of p476 should read: “It seems to be based on a preconception of the situation formed from the point of view of demand, that is, of (former, potential or prospective) recipients, and thus takes sides with the perspectives, interests and concerns of only one of the parties involved in organ donation.”
