Future T/Issues : Organ Transplantation in Literary and Medical Narratives

Abstract

Future T/Issues discusses transplantation in speculative fiction and life writing and emphasizes the heterogenous voices that shape transplant practices. This book adds to the discussion of organ transplantation by focusing on one specific aspect that is commonly overlooked: the idea of speculation. By emphasizing the "What if?",´this study sets out to establish a dual perspective on human tissues: as a biological resource and as a social issue.
