What is it to be human today? How are developments in science and technology affecting the human experience? Developments in the life sciences offer new ways of understanding and intervening in bodily processes. Human influence is distributed through socio-technical networks and artifacts. Transnational connections and imaginings extend our conception of humanness. What concepts do we need to understand these processes and to address their practical and political consequences?
