This interdisciplinary volume explores how posthumanist approaches
can illuminate current issues in bioethics and considers the
relevance of these issues for the humanities, including questions
of autonomy and authorship, and notions of ethical and juridical
responsibility in the context of a changing understanding of
subjectivity. With contributions from a variety of areas, including
literature, philosophy, media, and policy-making, the book outlines
the historical and philosophical development of posthumanism, and
current key questions in bioethics. It generates a dialogue between
bioethical approaches and the posthumanities, identifying ways in
which posthumanist scholarship might be used to inform bioethical
policy. The book also looks more speculatively at the future, and
the potential implications of technological developments which are
only beginning to emerge. It uses posthumanism to look critically
at the humanism underpinning de-extinction science, considers the
ways in which technology is re-framing our social and political
imaginaries, and asks about the identification of future
posthumans.
