Recenzii
In Biolust, Brain Death, and the Battle over Organ Transplants, William LaFleur brings his extensive experience in religious studies to bear on discussions around organ transplantation in Japan. Skillfully completed and edited by Edward Drott after the author's passing, the writing is engaging and at times polemical, but also carefully contextualized by Amy Borovoy's introduction and the conclusion by Susumu Shimazono. Without doubt, the questions raised by the book remain important a decade after it was originally penned.
