Abstract
Bioconservatism is a portmanteau of “biology” and “conservatism”. Thus, it implicates a certain customization of science, namely a conservative biology. Bioconservatives (or biocons) want a biology built according to conservative specifications. In the main, their customization work consists of drawing lines and limits for biological research and biotechnological applications-to reign in or prevent the disruptive potentials of technosciences that threaten the “known goods” of the present.
