Conclusion: Becoming Biosubjects -- $tNotes -- $tReferences -- $tIndex 330 $aBecoming Biosubjects examines the ways in which the Canadian government, media, courts, and everyday Canadians are making sense of the challenges being posed by biotechnologies. The authors argue that the human body is now being understood as something that is fluid and without fixed meaning. This has significant implications both for how we understand ourselves and how we see our relationships with other forms of life.Focusing on four major issues, the authors examine the ways in which genetic technologies are shaping criminal justice practices, how policies on reproductive technologies have shifted in response to biotechnologies, the debates surrounding the patenting of higher life forms, and the Canadian (and global) response to bioterrorism. Regulatory strategies in government and the courts are continually evolving and are affected by changing public perceptions of scientific knowledge. The legal and cultural shifts outlined in Becoming Biosubjects call into question what it means to be a Canadian, a citizen, and a human being. 410 0$aCultural studies series (Toronto, Ont.) 606 $aBiotechnology$xSocial aspects$zCanada 606 $aGenetic engineering$xSocial aspects$zCanada 606 $aHuman body 606 $aForensic genetics$xTechnique 606 $aCriminal justice, Administration of$zCanada 606 $aReproductive technology$xGovernment policy$zCanada 606 $aBioterrorism$zCanada$xPrevention 606 $aBiotechnology$zCanada$vPatents 606 $aBioterrorism$xPrevention 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBiotechnology$xSocial aspects 615 0$aGenetic engineering$xSocial aspects 615 0$aHuman body. 615 0$aForensic genetics$xTechnique. 615 0$aCriminal justice, Administration of 615 0$aReproductive technology$xGovernment policy 615 0$aBioterrorism$xPrevention. 615 0$aBiotechnology 615 0$aBioterrorism$xPrevention. 676 $a303.48/3 700 $aGerlach$b Neil, $0910593 702 $aGerlach$b Neil$f1963- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457251503321 996 $aBecoming biosubjects$92037947 997 $aUNINA
