Employing a biopolitical framework, the author critiques transhumanist perspectives on human enhancement, arguing they portray a limited vision of the good life. The book engages with bioethics and disability studies, highlighting how these views devalue disabled lives by associating disability with risk and mortality. This critical intervention challenges prevailing narratives and invites a reevaluation of the implications of transhumanist thought on societal perceptions of disability.
