Bioconservatism
(Redirected from Bioconservative)
Bioconservatism is a stance of hesitancy about technological development in general and strong opposition to the genetic, prosthetic or cognitive modification of human beings in particular. Whether arising from a conventionally right-leaning politics of religious/cultural conservatism or from a conventionally left-leaning politics of environmentalism, bioconservative positions oppose medical and other technological interventions into what are broadly perceived as current human and cultural limits in the name of a defense of "the natural" deployed as a moral category.
Bioluddism is a form of radical bioconversatism.
Technoprogressivism is the stance that contrasts with bioconservatism.
