"In this superbly crafted ethnography Lesley Sharp exposes unexamined “moral thinking” embedded in the highly experimental worlds of xenotransplantation and mechanical hearts. Involved scientists believe that use of donated human body parts, eternally in short supply, will cease due to their work, thus eliminating organ scarcity and hence moral issues associated with transplantation. But Sharp’s insightful probing reveals critical moral concerns that individuals living with body parts of non-human origin must confront in their lives."―Margaret Lock, author of Twice Dead: Organ Transplants and the Reinvention of Death
"Lesley Sharp’s exploration of the moral ground and quandaries of experimental xenografting and bioengineering brings together current interests in the ethnography of ethical life and of working science. I read this lucid and compelling account in a single go."―Michael Lambek, Canada Research Chair, Department of Anthropology, University of Toronto Scarborough"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
