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

Black Markets : The Supply and Demand of Body Parts

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 !!!!

Timely and Honest

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.

Amazing

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.
