Conclusion: Speculative Medicine, Speculative Fictions. 330 $aRemoving an organ from one (typically dead) body and placing it in another living body challenges our most foundational ideas about boundaries between self and other, individual and social identity, life and death, health and illness. But despite these transgressions, organ transplant is a celebrated and relatively common procedure. Transplant Fictions brings together a diverse set of cultural representations to understand how we have overcome the profound ideological violations represented by organ exchange in order to reimagine the concept and practice as technological and moral victories. From the plots of horror stories and sci-fi novels to sentimental romances and feel-good media reports of stranger donation, this cultural study offers a nuanced portrait of the conceptual journey of organ exchange from strange and terrible to the "gift of life.". 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Literature, Science and Medicine,$x2634-6443 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFiction 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aLiterary History 606 $aFiction Literature 606 $aEuropean Literature 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFiction. 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 14$aLiterary History. 615 24$aFiction Literature. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 676 $a362.1783 676 $a823.0093561 700 $aRussell$b Emily$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01228834 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484922403321 996 $aTransplant Fictions$92852853 997 $aUNINA
