<br> Joanna Zylinska, <br>Bioethical Mutations in the Age of Capital<br>
<br>Designed as a supplement to my 2009 book, [http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/item/default.asp?ttype=2&tid=11759 ''Bioethics in the Age of New Media''] -- which explores and experiments with some alternatives within bioethics -- this living book, ''Bioethics™: Life, Politics, Economics'', is to act as a warning against the foreclosure of the aforementioned potential by casting light on this increasing marketisation of both life and bioethics under late capitalism. Performed as a form of ‘mutation’, the introduction to ''Bioethics™'' proposes an academic-artistic method for reading and writing as genetic recombination, which is perhaps a biotech-era take on Roland Barthes’ ‘From Work to Text’.

It's quite a large file - 15MB, so downloading it onto your computer will take far less time than trying to open the pdf directly from its current location.
