Join us for a screening of Fixed: The Science/Fiction of Human Advancement (2013), which explores the social impact of human biotechnologies
About this Event

From botox to bionic limbs, the human body is more “upgradeable” than ever. But how much of it can we alter and still be human? What do we gain or lose in the process? Award-winning documentary, Fixed: The Science/Fiction of Human Enhancement, explores the social impact of human biotechnologies. Haunting and humorous, poignant and political, Fixed rethinks “disability” and “normalcy” by exploring technologies that promise to change our bodies and minds forever.


The screening is part of Science and Film series created to mark 300 years of medical education in Edinburgh. The films invite us to think and explore science and health.
Each film includes a short introduction and inclusive post-screening discussion with healthcare professionals and scientists from The University of Edinburgh.
