Biotechnology and Culture by Paul E Brodwin

Biotechnology and Culture by Paul E Brodwin

With every new media frenzy over surrogacy, cloning, organ transplantation, and the like, people raise troubling questions: Can a child have two mothers? Should we learn our genetic futures? This book traces such questions and their political and personal stakes over the last 100 years and in several contemporary locations.

"This pluridisciplinary collection of essays is a gusto tour of recent biotechnology developments with many pertinent insights along the way"--Jrn of the Royal Anthroplogical Institute, December 2002

Paul Brodwin is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee and Adjunct Professor of Bioethics at the Medical College of Wisconsin. He is the author of Medicine and Morality in Haiti: The Contest for Healing Power and a co-editor of Pain as Human Experience: Anthropological Perspectives.
