Abstract:
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. A richly detailed and deeply emotional account of the conflict between modern medicine and traditional society in Pakistan.
