Biotechnology and Culture: Bodies, Anxieties, Ethics (Theories of Contemporary Culture)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The cultural debates over biotechnology clarify the fears and longings of our age. With every new media frenzy over surrogacy, cloning, organ transplantation, and the like, people raise troubling questions: Can a child have two mothers? Should we learn our genetic futures? Are organs gifts or commercial products? This book traces such questions and their political and personal stakes over the last hundred years and in several contemporary locations.
