Book Synopsis
Using deconstruction, this book approaches contemporary problems raised by technologies of life and death from cloning to capital punishment; and thereby, provides new insights into current debates from a perspective outside of mainstream philosophy with its assumptions of individual and political sovereignty.

Trade Review
"In Technologies of Life and Death Kelly Oliver addresses some of the most intractable ethical issues of our day. The relevance of continental philosophy in general and of Derridean deconstruction in particular has rarely been demonstrated with such lucidity." -- -Robert Bernasconi Penn State University "In this creative, fascinating, witty, and remarkably fearless book, Oliver takes on the most important questions of human existence (including the meaning of birth and death and the limits of the human) and reframes them for us in thought-provoking ways." -- -Elissa Marder Emory University
