Reviews

. . . a timely and valuable addition to the existing literature on (donor-)ARTs. It offers unique perspectives and weaves together a coherent narrative in which each part builds on each other. The book will undoubtedly resonate with many scholars and students of the sociology of health and illness interested in donation and social relations. -- Riikka Homanen, Gender Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences, Tampere University, Tampere, Finland
