The technological capacity to transform biology - repairing,
reshaping and replacing body parts, chemicals and functions - is
now part of our lives. Humanity is confronted with a variety of
affordable and non-invasive 'enhancement technologies': anti-ageing
medicine, aesthetic surgery, cognitive and sexual enhancers,
lifestyle drugs, prosthetics and hormone supplements. This
collection focuses on why people find these practices so seductive
and provides ethnographic insights into people's motives and
aspirations as they embrace or reject enhancement technologies,
which are closely entangled with negotiations over gender, class,
age, nationality and ethnicity.
