This is an intriguing expose' on the underground market for human body parts. I would definitely recommend it--it is quite eye-opening!

Greetings. Before reading this book I thought drugs and guns where the number #1 black markets. After reading this important reading I had to come to the realization that body organs/parts tops them both. The author also claims it's based on class status and race on who gets new organs. She validates this fact with documented stories. She even documented a case about a Chinese lady who tried to sell her body parts to help save her child from an illness. This book had me in tears. I give this book two thumbs up. Thanks.

This is very interesting reading. Being an avid reader, I am always browsing through books looking for something knowledgeable and different from my usual relationship topics. This caught my attention and I could not put it down. I would never expect a book of this nature to do that. This author did a fantastically wonderful job of shining light on a subject that is very important and does not receive attention. More importantly, it is written in a way that would engage the average person. Great job !!!!

I am incredibly impressed with this author. I participated in a conference hosted by her law school this past weekend. It was outstanding! She read from the book and the room was in complete silence. She is a brilliant author and professor. This is one of the few books written by a bioethicist that speaks to the public. I congratulate the author.

This is one of the best books I have ever seen. It got amazing reviews. I have learned so much about the importance and flaws of buying and selling body parts. Two thumbs up.
