Reviews

This book tackles the topic of altruism with respect to transfers, redistribution, and transformation of biological material such as human bodily fluids, cells, tissues, and genetic material. ... This book effectively synthesizes a vast amount of material into one succinct book while offering diverse opinions from varying backgrounds. This target audience is scholars in the fields of medicine and bioethics. (Allegra Merriweather, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2018)
