Waldby suggests that her use in the project did not require the same public justification because, as a woman her body is ‘always/already marked as useful yet passive matter, and as reproductive matter already belonging in some sense to the community’ (Waldby, 2000 Waldby, C. 2000. The Visible Human Project: Informatic Bodies and Posthuman Medicine, London: Routledge. [Crossref] , [Google Scholar], p. 54).
