This revised and updated second edition takes into account technical and regulatory developments in biotechnology. It offers the reader a clear argument about why we worry about the body becoming a mere commodity and what we can do to prevent it, whilst bringing together bioethics and feminist theory.
Focusing on the growing trend of human body commodification, the book explores the influence of powerful interests in this phenomenon. It provides insights into understanding the implications of this commodification and offers guidance on how to regulate it effectively. Through analysis and discussion, it aims to illuminate the ethical and societal concerns surrounding the commercialization of human bodies.
