{"product_id":"strange-blood-von-boel-berner","title":"Strange Blood","description":"In the mid-1870s, the experimental therapy of lamb blood transfusion spread like an epidemic across Europe and the USA. Doctors tried it as a cure for tuberculosis, pellagra and anemia; proposed it as a means to reanimate seemingly dead soldiers on the battlefield. It was a contested therapy because it meant crossing boundaries and challenging taboos. Was the transfusion of lamb blood into desperately sick humans really defensible?The book takes the reader on a journey into hospital wards and lunatic asylums, physiological laboratories and 19th century wars. It presents a fascinating story of medical knowledge, ambitions and concerns – a story that provides lessons for current debates on the morality of medical experimentation and care.\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783837651638\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Rise and Fall of Lamb Blood Transfusion in 19th Century Medicine and Beyond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Paperback - 9783837651638","offer_id":57251849535813,"sku":"9783837651638","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/cfa0335a-a0c7-4051-a40e-c8200995c191.jpg?v=1780380432","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/strange-blood-von-boel-berner","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
