Focusing on the intersection of bioethics and disability studies, the author critiques transhumanist perspectives that undermine the value of disabled lives. By employing a biopolitical framework, the book argues that these thinkers portray a limited vision of the good life, equating disability with risk and mortality. Through this lens, it challenges prevailing narratives and calls for a reevaluation of how society perceives and values diverse human experiences.
