    Abstract

    Decisions that individuals make about giving in their everyday lives are socially situated in that they are constrained by the social and legal norms of their times. In contemporary Australian society, human body parts are circulated between individuals and institutions for therapeutic and research purposes. Tissue donation, broadly referring to a range of body parts, can include myriad ‘things’ such as blood, bone marrow, gametes or embryos, DNA, cancerous tissue, and organs procured before or after death.
