Spare Parts: Organ Replacement in American Society
Fox, Renee C. (Annenberg Professor of the Social Sciences, Annenberg Professor of the Social Sciences, University of Pennsylvania)
The interconnected stories of organ transplantation and the artificial heart are recounted in an interpretive framework. This attributes their most enduring significance to the triple themes of uncertainty, gift exchange, and the allocation of scarce material and non-material resources, and to the way they open questions of life and death, identity and solidarity.
