SYNOPSIS:
What does “disabled” mean when a man with no legs can run faster than many Olympic sprinters? With prenatal screening able to predict hundreds of probable conditions, who should determine what kind of people get to be born? If you could augment your body’s capabilities in any way imaginable what would you do? From pre-implantation genetic diagnosis to neural implants to bionic limbs, researchers around the world are hard at work developing a myriad of technologies to fix or enhance the human body. What does it mean to design “better humans” and should we want to?
Welcome to the Facebook page for FIXED, the documentary about disability, ableism, and emerging technologies that will, and are, changing our very notion of what it means to be human.
We invite and encourage your participation!
Our goal with this project – both the film and website - is to challenge entrenched notions of “normal” by supporting new ways of thinking about disability, ability and difference; to examine how cultural values get embedded in our technology; to be cognizant of the long history of eugenics in this country and beyond and question these technological developments in light of this history while still creating space for creativity and imagination to flourish; and finally and most importantly, to stimulate public involvement with the direction and application of emerging human enhancement technologies. Who will benefit from these technologies? At what cost?
