Biomedicine and biotechnology increasingly draw on marginal forms of living tissue as sources of therapeutic substances. More and more biomedical treatments rely on the collection, storage, transformation, and redistribution of tissues, the development of new kinds of "separable, exchangeable, and reincorporable body parts." 1 Some of these tissues—cancerous cells, placentas, DNA extracted from saliva—are considered marginal, or indeed dangerous, to the continuing life of the donor. As Robert Mitchell points out, these tissues are, generally speaking, collected and technically transformed with little social objection or controversy, precisely because of their status as waste. 2 As such, they are relatively open to forms of commodification and patent, and form the basis for an increasingly lucrative biotechnology industry
