Are you human? Do you have a body? Are you and organ donor?Are you not an organ donor? Are you pro life or pro choice? Well then this book is for you. It is out of date, but still very important. The out of date part just has to do with the fact that things have changed and more issues have developed since this book. There is a reviewer here who says he is in the footnotes. Can he contact Andrew Kimbrell and have this book continued out to our current date, so I do not have to explain this book is out of date, but important. Used bookstores ignore this book because it is so old. They do not realize how important it still is. Old book do not have it do not want to obtain it is their attitude.My only complaint you have to keep adding to this book each year or start an updated website like some books have with a note in the new book to go to it for updates on current bio ethical issues. Who gets the parts? Who makes the parts?Want to think further go for this topic and read fiction?1)Read Brave New World by Aldous Huxley a book way ahead of its time.2)Rent the Movie The Island a curent movie.The main take away is that we need to talk about and deal with these ethics. Every one needs to think about their values and not ignore this. Obviously the answer is not an easy one, but get more facts. If you have not read this you are probably missing facts.One reviewer says this is not a ballanced book nope it is not, but we do not hear this perspective much at all so it provides ballance in the world.Amazon has a reference for this if you like this you will like other books. Body for Life. That is a diet book, so you really want to skim those suggestions because they just pull up books that say body in them that have nothing to do with bio-ethics or this book. Obviously computer generated.
