The Bioethics of Enhancement: Transhumanism, Disability, and Biopolitics

by Melinda Hall and Melinda Hall Stetson University

Book Overview

This book is a critical intervention into debate over human enhancement and engages bioethics, disability studies, and Michel Foucault. Melinda Hall employs a biopolitical framework to argue that transhumanist thinkers present diminished images of the good life and seriously devalue disabled lives by linking disability with risk and death.
