More about the book

The book delves into the complexities of organ transplantation and trafficking, highlighting the neoliberal shifts within the medical system. It critiques the treatment of human body parts as commodities and explores the arguments advocating for market solutions. Additionally, it posits that contemporary medicine retains ties to its religious origins. By linking Marx's concept of commodity fetishism and Freud's ideas on object use, the author reinterprets the intertwined evolution of market dynamics and medical practices.
