内容説明

Our tissues, genes, and organs are becoming, in the words of the head of one pharmaceutical company, 'the currency of the future'. From the trafficking of women for their eggs to 'beauty junkies' and designer gene repair kits, Donna Dickenson reveals the myriad and often ingenious ways that body parts are converted into profits. Despite what the media - or even your doctor - might say, the current biotechnological gold rush is not inevitable and can be resisted. This gripping, powerful book is essential reading for anyone concerned with the ownership and the commercial use (and abuse) of our bodies and those of our loved ones. The fight isn't over yet. Indeed, it's hardly begun.
