i find it intriguing and rather gross that haraway virtually advocates bestiality in the "manifesto" and then recently published a "companion animals manifesto." consensual play with a non-human animal is not like killing a baby or something, but it is icky. bleck. and consent is not always easy to determine with other species.

"Biological-determinist ideology is only one position opened up in scientific culture for arguing the meanings of human animality. There is much room for radical political people to contest the meanings of the breached boundary.2 The cyborg appears in myth precisely where the boundary between human and animal is transgressed. Far from signalling a walling off of people from other living beings, cyborgs signal distrurbingly and pleasurably tight coupling. Bestiality has a new status in this cycle of marriage exchange." - DH
