Research Abstract |
As a consequence of modern medicine, there emerges a new economic sphere called bioeconomy. This economy is characterized by its aspect of affection during exchange. And the characteristic is seen not only in the organ transplantation but also in other recent medical practices such as reproductive medicine. Affection in bioeconomy seems to be a common characteristic of this economy that create different types of body exchange, and we need further study to understand its specific implication.
