The new, intensive forms of monitoring, categorizing, scrutinizing and, ultimately, controlling and manipulating of persons through their bodies and embodied identities that become possible in this new ontology suggest that some form of integrity of the person may be at stake. Maybe not exactly “bodily” integrity in the traditional sense associated with anatomical-physical body boundaries, but a form of integrity yet to be defined. Especially since the gathering of body data, including even DNA samples, becomes ever more easy, inconspicuous, inescapable, and ubiquitous, it seems a bit like “ostrich-policy” to remain too focused on body boundaries belonging to the ontology of anatomical-physical bodies, rather than redevising some concept of integrity adequate to the ontology of informatized bodies.

Whereas it is indeed the case that metaphors are involved here, they can be found in the most “serious” scientific descriptions as well. Such metaphors do not refer to other more literal concepts, but are the very stuff of scientific imagination itself. What may start out as metaphorical – meaning carried over from another context of use – after a while becomes the literal (Rorty 1989; Locke 1992). 4 “‘Personal data’ shall mean any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identification number or to one or more factors specific to his physical, physiological, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity” (European Parliament and Council 1995: 10). 5 Although bodily integrity in many legal systems is conceptually subordinated to a more general concept of “privacy” or “private life,” that is, it is often defined as a special subcategory of a general notion of privacy, it is also generally acknowledged as morally and legally constituting privacy’s most basic instance. The contrast between the two ethical/legal regimes I’m drawing out here is therefore not that between bodily integrity and privacy as such, which is a very broad and loosely defined encompassing concept, but that between “bodily integrity” and “informational privacy.” I argue that our concept of bodily integrity is too narrow to deal with the broad technology-mediated transformative processes in which our bodies are currently caught, and that it is too readily assumed that mere Biometrics and the body 71
