Bodies 4 Sale

A raw, bold look into the world behind the parties, the Hollywood scenes, the prostitutes and big money managers Here is the land that Jim Norton knew: show business from top to bottom. But that was his problem. Once he'd been on top and now he was at rock bottom. After two years, the "why" was still a mystery. This is a romantic novel taking a savage look behind the scenes of how big business has, many times, perverted the art of movie making. Originally published in 1961, this edition has been revised and updated.

Bodies for Sale: Ethics and Exploitation in the Human Body Trade explores the philosophical and practical issues raised by activities such as surrogacy and organ trafficking. Stephen Wilkinson asks what is it that makes some commercial uses of the body controversial, whether the arguments against commercial exploitation stand up, and whether legislation outlawing such practices is really justified. In Part One Wilkinson explains and analyses some of the notoriously slippery concepts used in the body commodification debate, including exploitation, harm and consent. In Part Two he focuses on three controversial issues (the buying and selling of human kidneys, commercial surrogacy, and DNA patenting) outlining contemporary regulation and investigating both the moral issues and the arguments for legal prohibition.

An exploration of the philosophical and practical implications of practices such as surrogacy and organ harvesting. Wilkinson questions whether such commercial uses of the body need legislation to outlaw such practices.
