Book Synopsis Banking on the Body by : Kara W. Swanson
Book excerpt: Each year Americans supply blood, sperm, and breast milk to “banks” that store these products for use by strangers in medical procedures. Who gives, who receives, who profits? Kara Swanson traces body banks from the first experiments that discovered therapeutic uses for body products to current websites that facilitate a thriving global exchange.
