Preventive Human Genome Editing and Enhancement: Candidate Criteria for Governance
While somatic cell editing to treat disease is widely accepted, the use of human genome editing for “enhancement” remains contested. Scientists and policy‐makers routinely cite the prospect of enhancement as a salient ethical challenge for human genome editing research. If preventive genome editing projects are perceived as pursuing human enhancement, they could face heightened barriers to scientific, public, and regulatory approval. This article…
Human heritable genome editing and its governance: Views of scientists and governance professionals
Heritable human genome editing has garnered significant attention in scholarly and lay media, yet questions remain about whether, when, and how heritable genome editing ought to proceed. Drawing on interviews with scientists who use genome editing in their research and professionals engaged in human genome editing governance efforts, we examine their views on the permissibility of heritable genome editing and the governance strategies they see as…
What the Air Became: Rereading Eigner to Read Compositional Tools in Networks
This essay problematizes readings of postwar poet Larry Eigner's work that overemphasize the role the typewriter played in his aesthetics, and proposes the use of contemporary poet Joey Yearous-Algozin's Air the Trees , a 2013 remediation of Larry Eigner's 1968 book of the same title, as a key by which to critique Microsoft Word. This reading of Yearous-Algozin, using a modified form of Bruno Latour's actor-network theory that takes ideological f…
Bioidentical hormones, menopausal women, and the lure of the “natural” in U.S. anti-aging medicine
Are "Anti-Aging Medicine" and "Successful Aging" Two Sides of the Same Coin? Views of Anti-Aging Practitioners
Anti-aging practitioners' adoption of the rhetoric of successful aging reflects the success of successful aging models in shaping popular conceptions of what aging is and an ethos of management and control over the aging process. The overlap between anti-aging and successful aging rhetoric also highlights some of the most problematic social, cultural, and economic consequences of efforts made to reconceptualize old age
Personalized Genomic Medicine and the Rhetoric of Empowerment
A decade after the completion of the Human Genome Project, the widespread appeal of personalized genomic medicine's vision and potential virtues for health care remains compelling. Advocates argue that our current medical regime “is in crisis as it is expensive, reactive, inefficient, and focused largely on one size fits all treatments for events of late stage disease.” What is revolutionary about this kind of medicine, its advocates maintain, is…
In the vanguard of biomedicine? The curious and contradictory case of anti-ageing medicine
The rise of anti-ageing medicine is emblematic of the current conditions of American biomedicine. Through in-depth interviews with 31 anti-ageing practitioners, we examine how practitioners strive for-and justify-a model of care that runs counter to what they see as the 'assembly line' insurance-managed industry of healthcare. Their motivation, however, is not merely a reaction to conventional medicine. It is derived from what they see as a set o…
