<p>Dr. Farhat Moazam has written a wonderful book based on her extraordinary first-hand study. . . . [S]he is an exceptionally gifted and evocative writer. Her book not only has the attributes of a superb piece of intellectual work but it has literary artistic merit. --Renee C. Fox Annenberg Professor Emerita of the Social Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania<br /><br />This is an ethnographic study of live related kidney donation in Pakistan based on Farhat Moazam's participant-observer research conducted at a public hospital. Her narrative is both a thick description of renal transplant cases and the cultural ethical and family conflicts that accompany them and an object lesson in comparative bioethics.</p>
