Intact

Intact
by Clare Chambers critically examines the cultural, philosophical, and ethical dimensions of bodily modifications. This work argues that the natural body should be valued and protected against contemporary societal pressures that often promote modification in the name of beauty, health, or identity. It further suggests that such modifications, while frequently presented as empowering, may instead reflect deeper societal inequalities.
