Cy-dough-plasm

27 February 1999

Suppose that conception , childbirth and child-rearing are gradually being
appropriated by an increasingly technocratic medical and media establishment.
This being so, is it enough to respond by writing articles with titles like
these: “Cyborg Babies and Cy-Dough-Plasm” or “Children of Metis—Beyond
Zeus the Creator”? The contributors to Robbie Davis-Floyd and colleagues’ Cyborg
Babies seem to think so. Published by Routledge, £13.99, ISBN
