Collaborators Collaborating: Counterparts in Anthropological Knowledge and International Research Relations
As bio-capital in the form of medical knowledge, skills and investments moves with greater frequency from its origin in First World industrialized settings to resource-poor communities with weak or little infrastructure, countries with emerging economies are starting to expand new indigenous science bases of their own. The case studies here, from the UK, West Africa, Sri Lanka, Papua New Guinea, Latin America and elsewhere, explore the forms of c…

International Biodiplomacy and Global Ethical Forms: Relations of Critique Between Public Anthropology and Science in Society
This essay introduces the concept of "biodiplomacy" through a combination of philosophical reflection, historical and etymological arguments, media reports, critical analyses of bioethics controversies, and the author's own participation as a "diplomat" of anthropology for an international commission about science and society. It explores how the notion of corps diplomatique that once represented the Enlightenment ideal of an exclusive, "family o…

From Secrets of Life to the Life of Secrets: Tracing Genetic Knowledge as Genealogical Ethics in Biomedical Britain
I argue that the facts of a 'genealogical ethics' are built up over time as local moralities of information disclosure and non-disclosure. In the context of predictive genetic testing technologies, family members must discriminate between genetic information that they think is 'good' to know or make known, and knowledge that they think is 'bad' to tell and share with others. But attempts to deal with the kinship implications of genetic foreknowle…
Predictive genetic testing and the making of the pre-symptomatic person: Prognostic moralities amongst Huntington's-affected families
This paper identifies the emergence of new prognostic categories of genetic health information in contemporary predictive biomedicine. Arguing that pre-emptive genetic foreknowledge is linked intimately to the creation of a new classificatory order of "pre-symptomatic" persons, the paper discusses how the "prophetic" revelations of predictive testing technologies transform ordinary persons into moral prognosticators. Case study materials detailin…
Ova Donation and Symbols of Substance: Some Variations on the Theme of Sex, Gender and the Partible Body
This article considers the value of female reproductive substance as exteriorized and extracorporeal bodv Darts. Women's accounts of donating their ova to infertile recipients are explored within tht -ontext of contemporary bio-medical discourse on assisted conception in Britain. Contrary to predominant assumptions of the Western model of the autonomous and bounded individual, it is argued that donors, as procreative agents, enact forms of relate…
