Body Modification Technologies and the Right to Moral Autonomy

Description

The post-modern phenomenon of body-modifying, human adaptation, and the universal right and limitations of moral-autonomy, over ones own human body is the central theme of this book. As such, it begins with a discussion on technologies with and without subdermal capabilities and the way such devices may be surpassing the individual in oneÕs willingness to adapt. Such practices are investigated both inside and outside of various organizational confines,including but not limited to what is transpiring within subcultures and/or on the table for discussion within hospitals, correctional facilities, the workplace as well as National Defense–ranging from body-modifying practices freely adopted to that which is externally regulated, such as through imposed order. With a focus on the individualÕs right of jurisdiction over oneÕs body it focuses on techno-practices that directly intercept with the human bodyÑlikewise arguing for certain limitations, such as needless bodily harm.
