The wish for a chimerical body is now only limited by technobiological fantasy . Deciding that a wholly bio-artificial body might not be compatible with bioethical norms and laws would be to forget the biosubjective lived ensured by the progress of technological medicine . The individual interest of one human being invoking his right to live in a decent body would legitimate research on artificial life . Supposing we could shape our body according to our wishes , would that be enough to abolish this object/subject relation , to incarnate the subject fully ?
