| Description: |
The definition of life is central to Euro-American medicine and anthropology, however, its "reality" resists classification. This volume reflects the growing international concern about issues relating to this subject, discussing topics such as organ transplantation and cloning. |
| Synopsis: |
- This volume reflects the growing international concern about the issues of organ transplantation, new reproductive and genetic technologies and embryo research. - It examines the political economy of body parts, organ and tissue 'harvesting', bio-prospecting and the patenting of life-forms, as well as governance and regulation in cloning, organ transplantation, tissue engineering, and artificial life system procedures. - It reaffirms the value of cross-cultural comparison and assesses advances in bioscience. |
