These techniques improve the health and well-being of some human beings using products or functions that come from the body of others. Growth in demand and absence of an appropriate international legal framework have led to the development of a lucrative global trade in which victims are often people living in insecure conditions who have no other ways to survive than to rent or sell part of their body. This growing market, in which parts of the human body are bought and sold with little respect for the human person, displays a kind of dehumanization that looks like a new form of slavery. This book is the result of a collective and multidisciplinary reflection organized by a group of international researchers working in the field of medicine and social sciences. It helps better understand how the emergence of new health industries may contribute to the development of a global medical tourism. It opens new avenues for reflection on technologies that are based on appropriation of parts of the body of others for health purposes, a type of practice that can be metaphorically compared to cannibalism. Are these the fi rst steps towards a proletariat of men- and women-objects considered as a reservoir of products of human origin needed to improve the health or well-being of the better-off? The book raises the issue of the uncontrolled use of medical advances that can sometimes reach the anticipations of dystopian literature and science fiction.History & Philosophy Of Sciencemédecinesciences socialestechnologieindustrie de la santécannibalismecannibalismhealth industrymedicinesocial sciencestechnologycannibalismhealth industrysocial sciencesmedicinetechnologyHistory & Philosophy Of Sciencemédecinesciences socialestechnologieindustrie de la santécannibalismecannibalismhealth industrymedicinesocial sciencestechnologyAkoh Jacob A1293731Barras Vincent1233209Beck-Gernsheim Elisabeth254072Boudamoussi Samira El1293732Brush Barbara L1293733Budiani-Saberi Debra1293734Capron Alexander M1293735Columb Seán1293736Courtine Jean-Jacques490997Dovlo Delanyo1293737Elger Bernice S1293738Frydman René1290552Garraud Olivier1293739Goyens Philippe1293740Hurst Samia A1293741Kelley Edward1293742Lefrère Jean-Jacques1293743Mahdavi-Mazdeh Mitra1293744Mahíllo Beatriz1293745Martin Dominique770500Matesanz Rafael1293746Mauron Alex1293747Mburu Sheila1293748Mohapatra Seema1293749Nadimpally Sarojini1293750Nahavandi Firouzeh556250Nguyen Vinh-Kim509399Noël Luc1293751Osselaer Jean-Claude1293752Pirnay Jean-Paul1293753Pocock Nicola Suyin1293754Rainhorn Jean-Daniel1232395Samama Etti1293755Sándor Judit779249Scheper-Hughes Nancy251407Shalev Carmel262678Steiner Philippe144802Tissot Jean-Daniel1293756Rainhorn Jean-Daniel1232395El Boudamoussi Samira1293757FR-FrMaCLEBOOK9910246752703321New Cannibal Markets3022717UNINA
