Contents:

Introduction : to the moon -- Locating biological citizenship -- Whose body politic? -- Eggs for sale -- Race for cures -- Depathologizing distrust -- Toward real utopias.

Summary: Stem cell research has sparked controversy and heated debate since the first human stem cell line was derived in 1998. Too frequently these debates devolve to simple judgments-good or bad, life-saving medicine or bioethical nightmare, symbol of human ingenuity or our fall from grace-ignoring the people affected. With this book, Ruha Benjamin moves the terms of debate to focus on the shifting relationship between science and society, on the people who benefit-or don't-from regenerative medicine and what this says about our democratic commitments to an equitable society. People's.
