Brainstorming for which brains are prohibited: analyzing our bio-neoliberal realities

This paper is based on the will to provide a methodology/exercise in bringing our perceptional and analytical tools (when doing biomedical and applied biological research) to the level of today's neoliberal challenges. Better said, exactness does not give accurate end results in the intellectual surrounding of wrongly interpreted (biological) data without much connection to our on-ground (neoliberal) realities. The main problem that is being tackled is that our bio-neoliberal realities, immersed into decades long build up of political and economic factors, if elegantly ignored before, cannot be disregarded anymore. This exercise is conducted through five cautionary bio-neoliberal reality vignettes based on examples from Croatia, the functioning of Croatian health system and health/sickness/ecological issues. In the end, the paper orientates towards a critical reading of the instrumentalization of Human Rights, especially in the domain of health and dignity.
