Spare parts : the story of medicine through the history of transplant surgery / Paul Craddock.

Summary:

Offers a look at the history of medicine itself through the story of transplant surgery from ancient times to the present day. Craddock takes us on a journey - from sixteenth-century skin grafting to contemporary stem cell transplants - uncovering stories of experiments and operations performed by unexpected people in unexpected places. Bringing together philosophy, science and cultural history, this volume explores how transplant surgery constantly tested the boundaries between human, animal and machine. Craddock shows us that the history - and future - of transplant surgery is tied up with questions not only about who we are, but also what we are, and what we might become.-- Publisher description.
