This book provides a unique and innovative perspective on the
controversial phenomenon of 'stem cell tourism'. A growing number
of patients are embarking on stem cell treatments that are
clinically unproven and yet available in clinics and hospitals
around the world. The authors offer a cutting-edge
multi-dimensional perspective on this complex and rapidly changing
phenomenon, including an analysis of the experiences of those who
have undertaken or have contemplated undertaking a stem cell
treatment, as well as examination of the views of those who
undertake research or advise on or provide stem cell treatments.
Developing the concept of 'the political economy of hope', and
referencing case studies of the stem cell treatment market in
China, Germany, and Australia, this book argues for a reframing of
'stem cell tourism' to understand why patients and families pursue
these treatments and whether authorities' concerns are justified
and whether their responses are appropriate and proportionate to
the alleged risks.
