The concept of bio-objectification describes how the ‘raw materials’ of living cells and tissues are subject to both technical manipulations and ontological transformations to produce novel ‘bio-objects’ such as cell lines and transgenic animals. Bio-objects are conceptually fluid, but also subject to literal circulation through biobanks and repositories. Making bio-objects mobile means producing them in such a way that they are capable of travelling across jurisdictions, institutional boundaries, and of moving between public and private sectors. This paper uses one particular bio-object—the human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC), and a particular context, a European consortium dedicated to creating an open access repository of hiPSC—to explore what making mobilisable bio-objects entails. The bio-object not only has multiple strands of identity—legal, ethical, political, technical—but this identity is distributed across, and inscribed in, a variety of paper documents, digital records, as well as the biological material. Making bio-objects mobile means putting these heterogeneous components into circulation, which can entail travel through different infrastructures and at different speeds. Moreover, contemporary legal and ethical requirements for the use of human biomaterials require the formation of durable connections that tie bio-objects to places and persons of origin as a condition of mobility.

使生物物体移动:转化干细胞银行联盟的幕后

生物对象化的概念描述了活细胞和组织的“原材料”如何进行技术操作和本体转换,以产生新的“生物对象”,例如细胞系和转基因动物。生物对象在概念上是流动的,但也会通过生物库和存储库进行文字流通。使生物物体移动意味着以这样一种方式生产它们,即它们能够跨越司法管辖区、机构边界以及在公共和私营部门之间移动。本文使用一个特定的生物对象——人类诱导多能干细胞 (hiPSC),以及一个特定的背景,一个致力于创建 hiPSC 开放存取存储库的欧洲联盟——来探索制作可移动的生物对象需要什么。生物对象不仅具有多重身份——法律、伦理、政治、技术——而且这种身份分布并铭刻在各种纸质文件、数字记录以及生物材料中。使生物物体移动意味着将这些异构组件放入流通中,这可能需要通过不同的基础设施以不同的速度传播。此外,当代对使用人体生物材料的法律和道德要求需要形成持久的联系,将生物对象与地方和原籍人联系起来,作为流动的条件。使生物物体移动意味着将这些异构组件放入流通中,这可能需要通过不同的基础设施以不同的速度传播。此外,当代对使用人体生物材料的法律和道德要求需要形成持久的联系,将生物对象与地方和原籍人联系起来,作为流动的条件。使生物物体移动意味着将这些异构组件放入流通中,这可能需要通过不同的基础设施以不同的速度传播。此外,当代对使用人体生物材料的法律和道德要求需要形成持久的联系,将生物对象与地方和原籍人联系起来,作为流动的条件。
