Plastic surgery, wonder drugs, artificial organs, and prosthetics inspired Americans to believe in a new age of modern medical miracles. The nationalistic pride that flourished in postwar society, meanwhile, encouraged many Americans to put tremendous faith in the power of medicine to rehabilitate and otherwise transform the lives and bodies of the disabled and those considered abnormal. \u003ci\u003eReplaceable You\u003c\/i\u003e revisits this heady era in American history to consider how these medical technologies and procedures were used to advance the politics of conformity during the 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Serlin\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor of communication at the University of California, San Diego.
