Rights of the Person Program


Sane adult citizens have a right to control their own bodies and minds. Through the Rights of the Person program, we engage the human rights community, legal scholars, reproductive rights activists, the transgendered community, and advocates of public health approaches to illicit drugs in a campaign to deepen and broaden the concept of human rights. In particular we believe that the right to technological self-determination should be protected by laws and treaties.
Sub-Program: Rights of Non-Human Persons - The IEET is committed to the idea that some non-human animals meet the criteria of legal personhood and thus are deserving of specific rights and protections.

Program Director: Rights of the Person

Kristi Scott
is a doctoral student in Mass Communication and Media Arts at Southern Illinois University. Her work centers on the way popular culture presents issues of identity, body modification, cosmetic surgery, and emerging technologies.
