Synopsis

This book will present a multi-sited ethnography examining the latest 'revolution' in stem cell research and its societal, ethical, and political implications. The author examines the nexus between mundane laboratory work and ethical practices concerning research in stem cells, and patient experiences of the donation of cells for the development of new drugs and treatment techniques. In doing so the book reveals the politicization and commercialization of human biology and regulatory processes.
