"Overall, Taylor's book is well argued, clearly written, very accessible, and creative . . . [It] will be interesting to anyone who works in the debate about commodification and the ethics of markets, and it will also be interesting to bioethicists who work in sectors where compensation is prohibited for bodily services. Given that the book is not overly technical, it can be read by anyone with basic familiarity with bioethics."Samuel Director in Bioethics
