But despite these transgressions, organ transplant is a celebrated and relatively common procedure. \u003ci\u003eTransplant Fictions \u003c\/i\u003ebrings together a diverse set of cultural representations to understand how we have overcome the profound ideological violations represented by organ exchange in order to reimagine the concept and practice as technological and moral victories.
