The book explores the ways in which medicine organises the moral and the immoral, the sacred and the profane; how it mediates cultural concepts of the sacred - of the body, of blood and of life and death., This book develops an interdiscplinary as well as cross cultural and historical analyses of the relationship between medicine, religion, and the body., In the Great Saiyaman Saga Gohan plays superhero, hiding his identity to protect his family.
