Bodies, Commodities, and Biotechnologies

by Lesley Alexandra Sharp

Cover of Bodies, Commodities, and Biotechnologies

"In Bodies, Commodities, and Biotechnologies, Lesley Sharp probes the ideological assumptions underlying the transfer of body parts, the social significance of donors' deaths, and the medico-scientific desires surrounding complex forms of body repair. Sharp also considers the experimental realm, in which nonhuman species and artificial devices present further opportunities for recovery and for controversy."--BOOK JACKET.
