This book departs from conventional bioethics approaches to
consider the different moral and political economies involved in
the donation and transformation of human organs, gametes, stem
cells and breastmilk. Collectively, the authors draw attention to
the different values associated with research and therapy on body
part and tissue exchange through an examination of altruism, gift
and commodity relations. They expertly discuss issues such as the
bioethical conundrums around the circulation and use of human
biological materials and services as well as their legal and
regulatory limits, the economic benefits and health values
attributed to various body parts and products, and the matter of
immaterial labour and affective relations between donors,
recipients and others involved in tissue provision. Based on new
empirical research, this interdisciplinary collection of original
and timely essays will be of interest to students and researchers
in gender and cultural studies, sociology, anthropology, science
and technology studies, as well as medical professionals with an
interest in health and reproduction.
