From the Publisher: "In Body Shopping, award-winning writer Donna Dickenson makes a case against the new-found rights of businesses to harvest body parts and gain exclusive profit from the resulting products and processes. To illustrate her case, she presents a series of compelling stories of individuals injured or abused by the increasingly rapacious biotechnology industry." Body Shopping offers a fresh, international, and completely up-to-date take on the evolving legal position, the historical long view, and the latest biomedical research-an approach that goes beyond a mere recital of horror stories to suggest a range of new strategies to bring the biotechnology industry to heel. The result is a gripping, powerful book that is essential reading for everyone from parents to philosophers, and from scientists to lawmakers-everyone who believes that no human should ever be reduced to the sum of their body parts.
