Only scant attention has been given to the issue of children's bioethics. Even when such a discourse took place, it hardly touched upon children as social agents. In this novel work, Maya Sabatello looks at the "body politics" of religious and cultural medical practices - from "harmful traditional practices" to genetic engineering.
