-Discuss in this paper one of the current ethical and political debates related to the body; which is, generally, the Egyptian gaze on receiving a bodily “gift” (bodily “gift” as in organ transplants). And more specifically, how has the Egyptian gaze and occurrence of organ transplants been reshaped today based on the passed law of 2010 regarding transplants based upon aspects of religion, living standards, and the law? And further, what does the dichotomy of organ transplants and the law teach make us learn about body politics ?
