Abstract

restrict my response to the Koenig and Hogle commentary, and only as it applies to my article. I do take as nonproblematic, and therefore not requiring extended discussion, that humans feel a connection between their physical bodies and their personal identities. I do not claim that this connection is static, nor that the particular linkages underlying notions of self-body integrity are invariable (e.g., my comments on the cultural variation regarding which body parts are separable from self). I spent relatively little space on what exactly seems so wrong about the commodification of body parts because my principal objective was to document, not resolve, the ideological debate. I do cite the relevant bioethical discussions of the issue.
