From
Amy Borovoy works on regimes of social care in postwar Japanese democracy, including family and corporate welfare, and is interested in how the advance of life-extending technology affects basic ideas about family obligations. At IAS, she will focus on live kidney donation, which transplant protocols describe as “non-reciprocal” and altruistic. However, Japanese ethical guidelines limit live donation to within families and cope with pressure to meet demands for organs in a super-aging society.
