Abstract
Author Agustina Bazterrica offers a glimpse into a speculative future where humans are harvested for meat by other humans in her 2020 publication Tender is the Flesh. Drawing on a cultural history of the evolution of bioethical regulations, this article debates how easily a future such as the one Bazterrica describes might come to be. Using Tender is the Flesh as a foundation to explore the fragility of bioethical regulations and how they might, in a dystopian future, devolve under specific circumstances this article asks, what does this reversion look like and how easily could it occur? Is the future Bazterrica imagines one that is realistic or far-fetched? To answer these questions, this article explores specific topics such as codes of ethics, race, policy, dehumanization, ownership, agricultural ethics, and propaganda.
