Replaceable You explores the science, history, and culture of replacing human body parts, from historical devices like iron lungs and brass noses to modern innovations such as 3D-printed organs, stem cell therapies, prosthetic limbs, and cosmetic enhancements like butt implants. With her signature wit and immersive reporting, Mary Roach delves into ethical questions, surgical advancements, and quirky case studies—visiting burn units, organ donor facilities, and global research sites—to examine how medicine rebuilds the body, the challenges of regeneration, and what it means to be "replaceable" in an era of bioengineering and transplants.
