This project brings together a team of anthropologists, human rights activists, physicians, and social medicine specialists to conduct a multi-year project on "Medicine, Markets, and Bodies." Together they will explore the social and economic context of organ transplantation, focusing on the human rights implications of the desperate, world-wide, search for organs. They will carry out original ethnographic and sociological research as well as human rights investigations, and the findings will be broadly disseminated. The project will also establish and promote a human rights agenda for dealing with violations of the bodily integrity of vulnerable populations.
This project grows out of the work of the Bellagio Task Force on Securing Bodily Integrity for the Socially Disadvantaged in Transplant Surgery.
