Opis

We live in an era where organs and body parts are routinely removed from one person and put into another, where athletes, sports stars and models insure parts of themselves for millions of pounds, and where gametes and stem cells can be stored outside of the body for later use. Covering landmark legal cases and considering the various ethical quandaries that arise, Thomas Barrow sets out to answer the question of whether it is time to ascribe property rights to our bodies through Law.
