From a background in ethnography, Israeli teacher Ben-David aims to
understand the meaning of organ donation and transplantation from
the perspectives of the three major partners involved: donors,
recipients, and the medical teams. The participation of all
partners, each with specific interests, enables human organs to
become an exchangeable commodity with social significance. Applying
the resulting information from her comprehensive study, Ben-David
assesses the roles played by life and death in organ donation
within the Israeli Jewish community. She also examines issues of
social legitimacy connected to organ donation in the Israeli
society, institutionalization of transplantations, and
transplantation as a trigger for transformation to hero status.
