Some scientists refer to the body as a "project" or "subject," a system
that can be divided and dissected down to the molecular level.
Body parts are extracted like a mineral , harvested like a crop , or mined
like a resource.
Cells , embryos , and tissue are frozen , banked , marketed , bought , or
sold.
Umbilical cords , whose stem cells are useful for therapeutic purposes ,
are described as a "hot clinical property."
