Mary Roach on 'Replaceable You: Adventures in Human Anatomy'

Science writer Mary Roach returns to Bullseye. She joins us to talk about her latest book: Replaceable You: Adventures in Human Anatomy. It's a history and snapshot of how humankind has gotten better at recreating body parts. A heads up, we will get into medical procedures, surgeries and those which include the removing and reattaching of body parts. It's a bit grisly. But stick around, we also talk about "superclean" pigs! NPR Privacy Policy
