A brave, nuanced, and caring journey into the lives of transplant patients and the new worlds of meaning they tentatively inhabit. Soulfully written, the book changes the way we think about inner life and well-being, technology and human agency, and the impact of the global biomedical enterprise on local health systems. Social scientists and medical practitioners will have to reckon with this exceptional analysis for years to come.”—\u003cb\u003eJoão Biehl\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eVita: Life in a Zone of Social Abandonment\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWill to Live: AIDS Therapies and the Politics of Survival\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“I learned a great deal from this brilliant book. There is nothing else like it in the ethnographic literature on comparative high-tech medicine. Aslihan Sanal reaches far beyond the story of transplant patients and the organ trade in Turkey, taking in global flows of knowledge and ethics around brain-death, organ donation, and standards of care, as well as the worldwide organ trade, in which organs are exchanged legally and on the black market.”—\u003cb\u003eMary-Jo DelVecchio Good\u003c\/b\u003e, Professor of Social Medicine, Department of Global Health and Social Medicine, Harvard Medical School\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e“New Organs within Us: Transplants and the Moral Economy \u003c\/i\u003eis a richly ethnographic and soulfully written book that plunges its audience into the world of transplant patients and physicians….

I learned a great deal from this book, and would like to recommend it to students of social sciences, social medicine, and political economy in Turkey.”  -- Fikret Adaman * Turkish Studies *\u003cbr\u003e\"Sensitively written and deeply insightful, Aslihan Sanal’s ethnography of kidney transplantation in Turkey in the 1990s and 2000s is an intimate stitching of life histories, national and institutional narratives, and shifting meanings of life, death, and the body.\" -- Elizabeth DeLuca * Somatosphere *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrologue.
