Moldova Confessions

This video features Nancy Scheper-Hughes discussing organ commodification. The man from Moldova also provides a revealing demonstration of Butler's ethical violence. We might consider how Dan Rather's questions are constructing a narrative of victimhood that ends with "Is there anything else that you want to say, anything else that you want to know about this," as if the man's experiences can be tied into a bow and settled in a slogan against organ trafficking. He breaks down. Finally, you might note that the "scar" on his body does the work of giving empirical evidence of his experience.
