release notes/summary (backcover information)

The provocative contention of the postmodernist
and feminist essays in Ethics of the Body is
that conventional bioethics is out of touch,
despite its growing profile. It is out of touch
with an ongoing phenomenological sense of bodies
themselves; with the impact of postmodernist
theory as it problematizes the certainties of
binary thinking; and with a postmodern culture
in which bioscientific developments force us to
question what is meant by the notion of the
human self. The authors demonstrate that the
conventional normative framework of bioethics
is called into question by issues as wide
ranging as genetic manipulation, disability,
high-tech prosthetics, and intersexuality. The
essays show how both the theory and practice of
bioethics can benefit from postmodernism's
characteristic fluidity and multiplicity, as
well as from the insights of a reconceived
feminist bioethics. They address issues in
philosophy, law, bioscientific research,
psychiatry, cultural studies, and feminism
from a "postconventional" perspective that
looks beyond the familiar ideas of the body,
proposing not a bioethics about the body but
a radical ethics of the body.

After exploring notions of difference in both
feminist and postmodernist terms, the book
considers specific issues -- including HIV,
addiction, borderline personality disorder,
and cancer -- that challenge the principles
of conventional bioethics. The focus then turns
to questions raised by biotechnology: one essay
rethinks the traditional feminist ethics of care
in the context of new reproductive technology,
while others tackle genetic and genomic issues.
Finally, the book looks at embodiment and some
specifically anomalous forms of being-in-the-
body, including a consideration of intersex
infants and children that draws on feminist,
postructuralist, and queer theory.
