People's Science: Bodies and Rights on the Stem Cell Frontier

"...Under the shadow of the free market and in a nation still at odds with universal healthcare, the socially marginalized are often eagerly embraced as test-subjects, yet often are unable to afford new medicines and treatment regimes as patients. Without more deliberate consideration about how scientific initiatives can and should reflect a wider array of social concerns, stem cell research still risks excluding many. Even as regenerative medicine is described as a participatory science for the people, Benjamin asks us to consider if "the people" ultimately reflects our democratic ideals."--Cover, p. [4].
