This article engages with the animal bodies that haunt the transnational pet-cloning industry: the “used-up” surrogate-mother dogs said to be returned to dog-farms and slaughtered for human consumption in South Korea. I explore how “Western” criticisms that reduce the problem to Korea’s dog-eating culture and lack of bioethics—interlocking with nationalist and cultural relativist responses among Koreans—reiterate postcolonial relations within transnational bioethics, further pushing these animals into the shadows. I trace shame and disgust (as affective remainders of canine bodies) as a way to critically examine the bioethicalization of animal welfare as an operation of the biopolitical order of things among human and nonhuman bodies in the field of transnational biotechnology, in an effort to remind us of the canine others within us.

消失的母狗：犬类影响和后殖民生物伦理学

本文涉及困扰跨国宠物克隆行业的动物尸体：据说在韩国被送回养狗场并被屠宰供人类食用的“用完的”代孕母犬。我探索将问题归结为韩国的狗食文化和缺乏生物伦理的“西方”批评——与韩国人的民族主义和文化相对主义反应相互关联——如何重申跨国生物伦理中的后殖民关系，进一步将这些动物推向阴影。我追踪羞耻和厌恶（作为犬类身体的情感残余）作为一种批判性审查动物福利的生物伦理化的方式，作为跨国生物技术领域中人类和非人类身体之间事物的生物政治秩序的运作，以提醒我们内在的犬类。
