The article focuses on the study of biomedical intercessions of the ageing body made by Tiago Moreira and Paolo Palladino. According to the article, the study is focused on consociated social and cultural reconfigurations of ageing and death, the epistemic practices of bio-gerontology. Extending these rarer studies, Moreira and Palladino argue that changes in the scientific junction of ageing processes and death over a longer historical period than has been considered hither to offer significant insights into the ontology of the emergent politics of life itself.
