From School Library Journal Grade 6-9 A fascinating look at some of the major advances in modern medicine in the field of bioengineering. The book begins with a look at the development of artificial limbs, followed by organ transplants, artificial organs, and artificial body parts. Nearly every part of the body is considered, from skin to single cells. Finally, current research and future possibilities, such as brain grafts and limb regeneration, are introduced. Each topic is presented from a historical perspective, tracing developments to current practice. Bioethical questions are raised, but the discussion is kept to a minimum; readers are encouraged to consider organ bequests. Lots of examples and anecdotes liven up the material, including quotes from researchers and quips from recipients.The writing is clear and easily understandable, with just enough detail to inform but not overwhelm. This would be a good update to Arnold Madison s Transplanted and Artificial Body Organs (Beaufort, 1981) or Gloria Skurzynski s Bionic Parts for People (Four Winds, 1978; o.p.); couple it with Ann E. Weiss s Bioethics: Dilemma s in Modern Medicine (Enslow, 1985) for the full picture. Denise L. Moll, Lone Pine Elementary School, West Bloomfield, Mich.Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc. Card catalog description Discusses current accomplishments in the field of replacing parts in the human body, including organ transplants, artificial organs and implants, and artificial joints and limbs.
