520    "No one wants to be treated like an object, regarded as an
       item of property, or put up for sale. Yet many people 
       frame personal autonomy in terms of self-ownership, 
       representing themselves as property owners with the right 
       to do as they wish with their bodies. Others do not use 
       the language of property, but are similarly insistent on 
       the rights of free individuals to decide for themselves 
       whether to engage in commercial transactions for sex, 
       reproduction, or organ sales. Drawing on analyses of rape,
       surrogacy, and markets in human organs, Our Bodies, Whose 
       Property? challenges notions of freedom based on ownership
       of our bodies and argues against the normalization of 
       markets in bodily services and parts. Anne Phillips 
       explores the risks associated with metaphors of property 
       and the reasons why the commodification of the body 
       remains problematic. What, she asks, is wrong with 
       thinking of oneself as the owner of one's body? What is 
       wrong with making our bodies available for rent or sale? 
       What, if anything, is the difference between markets in 
       sex, reproduction, or human body parts, and the other 
       markets we commonly applaud? Phillips contends that body 
       markets occupy the outer edges of a continuum that is, in 
       some way, a feature of all labor markets. But she also 
       emphasizes that we all have bodies, and considers the 
       implications of this otherwise banal fact for equality. 
       Bodies remind us of shared vulnerability, alerting us to 
       the common experience of living as embodied beings in the 
       same world. Examining the complex issue of body 
       exceptionalism, Our Bodies, Whose Property? demonstrates 
       that treating the body as property makes human equality 
       harder to comprehend"--|cProvided by publisher.
