The outer limits of human disposability
 

Crary 44: "Death, in many guises, is one of the by-products of neoliberalism: when people have nothing further that can be taken from them, whether resources of labor power, they are quite simply disposable. However, the current increase in sexual slavery and the growing traffic in organs and body parts suggest that the outer limit of disposability can be profitably enlarged to meet the demands of new market sectors"
