520    Thousands of people from more than eighty countries have 
       traveled to China since 2001 to undergo fetal cell 
       transplantation. Galvanized by the potential of stem and 
       fetal cells to regenerate damaged neurons and restore lost
       bodily functions, people grappling with paralysis and 
       neurodegenerative disorders have ignored the warnings of 
       doctors and scientists back home in order to stake their 
       futures on a Chinese experiment. Biomedical Odysseys looks
       at why and how these individuals have entrusted their 
       lives to Chinese neurosurgeons operating on the forefront 
       of experimental medicine, in a world where technologies 
       and risks move faster than laws can keep pace. Priscilla 
       Song shows how cutting-edge medicine is not just about the
       latest advances in biomedical science but also encompasses
       transformations in online patient activism, surgical 
       intervention, and borderline experiments in health care 
       bureaucracy.Bringing together a decade of ethnographic 
       research in hospital wards, laboratories, and online 
       patient discussion forums, Song opens up important 
       theoretical and methodological horizons in the 
       anthropology of science, technology, and medicine. She 
       illuminates how poignant journeys in search of fetal cell 
       cures become tangled in complex webs of digital mediation,
       the entrepreneurial logics of postsocialist medicine, and 
       fraught debates about the ethics of clinical 
       experimentation.Using innovative methods to track the 
       border-crossing quests of Chinese clinicians and their 
       patients from around the world, Biomedical Odysseys is the
       first book to map the transnational life of fetal cell 
       therapies.
