The paper aims to explore Hanif Kureishi’s (2002) “The Body” and Kazuo Ishiguro’s (2005) Never Let Me Go in order to throw light on the bioethical issues related to ageing, biocitizenship, organ transplantation, wasted lives and disposable bodies by extending the discussion from a human to a dystopian posthuman world where affluent sections of society replenish their aged degenerating organic body by incorporating biomatter from non-citizens and clones. The paper draws on and extends Nikolas Rose and Carlos Novas’s concept of biocitizenship, Zygmunt Bauman’s notion of wasted lives, Giorgio Agamben’s explanation of bare life and Julia Kristeva’s theory of abjection in the context of literary studies in order to analyze the socio-political status of the engineered lives who are classified as biomedical fodders.

“试管中的阴暗物体”：Hanif Kureishi 的“身体”和石黑一雄的“永不让我走”中的生物公民身份、一次性尸体和浪费生命

该论文旨在探讨 Hanif Kureishi (2002) 的“The Body”和 Kazuo Ishiguro (2005) Never Let Me Go，以便通过扩展与老龄化、生物公民身份、器官移植、浪费生命和一次性身体相关的生物伦理问题来阐明从人类到反乌托邦的后人类世界的讨论，在那里社会的富裕阶层通过吸收来自非公民和克隆人的生物物质来补充他们老化的退化有机体。本文借鉴并扩展了尼古拉斯·罗斯和卡洛斯·诺瓦斯的生物公民概念、齐格蒙特·鲍曼的浪费生命概念、乔治·阿甘本对赤裸生命的解释和朱莉娅·克里斯蒂娃在文学研究背景下的堕落理论，以分析被归类为生物医学饲料的工程生命。
