Description

Explore the complex social practices of organ transplantation and the organ trade in Commodified Bodies. Part of the Routledge Studies in Science, Technology and Society series, this book examines the shift toward neoliberal tendencies within our medical systems. It looks closely at how human body parts are increasingly labeled as raw materials or commodities and evaluates the arguments used by those supporting free market solutions. This text provides a deep look into the historical processes that lead to the commodification of body parts. It moves beyond seeing this as a simple act of market imperialism, instead using the concept of fetishism to link the market with modern medical practices. The book also explores how modern medicine maintains connections to its religious roots while navigating these new economic realities. It is an essential read for students and professionals interested in the anthropology and sociology of medical and legal sciences.
