Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the intersection of organ transplantation and neoliberalism, this book critiques the transformation of human body parts into commodities within the medical system. It highlights the terminology that reduces body parts to "raw materials" and examines the arguments for market-driven solutions. The author connects the commodification of body parts to historical processes, linking it to Marx's concept of commodity fetishism and Freud's theories, ultimately suggesting that modern medicine retains ties to its religious origins.
