Since the early 1980s, the number and variety of organ transplantations has increased enormously worldwide. Accompanying this increase has been the emergence of a market for human body parts. This paper argues that, while the trade in human body parts is conditioned by technological advances, it must be understood in the broader context of globalization, specifically the extension and intensification of a capitalist mode of exchange. In this regard, it is argued that the trade in human body parts mirrors the "normal" system of unequal exchanges that mark other forms of trade between the developed and undeveloped regions of the world.
自20世纪80年代初以来，全球器官移植的数量和种类大幅增加。与此同时，人体器官市场也应运而生。本文认为，虽然人体器官交易受到技术进步的影响，但必须在更广泛的全球化背景下理解，特别是资本主义交换模式的扩展和强化。在这方面，有人认为人体器官交易反映了世界发达地区和不发达地区之间其他形式贸易中存在的“正常”不平等交换体系。
