TRANSPLANT MEDICINE AND CULTURAL TRANSFORMATION
Monday, November 4, 2002 from 1:00-5:00 p.m.
This program will examine the various meanings that society and medicine attach to transplantation of tissues and organs. In particular, the program will focus on the ways in which contemporary transplantation has forced a reconsideration of the body, the nature of identity, and our obligations to one another.
