Assignment:

Sherine Hamdy, author of Lissa writes:

. "In the discourse on organ donation...the miracles of 'saving lives' and 'giving the gift of life' through organ donation evoke the notion of individual, neutral, unmarked bodies who are equally susceptible to disease, whose organs, tissues, and blood are interchangeable."

. Explain how these notions of "individual, neutral bodies," "equally susceptible bodies," [that is the idea that any body, regardless of context, is equally susceptible to disease] and "the gift of life" relate especially to America's culture of biomedicine.

Provide an example from Lissa of how cultural beliefs in the United States might shape these medical ideas about the body. What roles does one think culture plays in shaping beliefs about the body in Egyptian medical contexts? Here, use Baba's case to illustrate one's point.
