英国脱欧与生物医药有什么关系？在这里，我们调查投票离开官方竞选口号'我们发送欧盟3.5亿英镑一周。让我们为我们的国民保健服务提供资金，以揭示英国退欧的民族主义风险。我们认为，英国脱欧公投运动必须位于英国的生物医学政策和实践。我们建议通过遗传的文化政治来重新思考英国退欧，以捕捉生物医学是如何围绕对祖先和健康的遗传理解而构建的，沿着构成国家及其福利体系的种族继承形式。我们探讨这三个领域：NHS和健康旅游，NHS和内政部之间的数据共享政策，以及NHS作为一个帝国资源的公共服务。展望英国脱欧公投运动之外，我们主张重新关注英国社会中种族主义，生物学，健康和继承之间的关系。
What is the relationship between Brexit and biomedicine? Here we investigate the Vote Leave official campaign slogan 'We send the EU 350 pound million a week. Let's fund our NHS instead' in order to shed new light on the nationalist stakes of Brexit. We argue that the Brexit referendum campaign must be situated within biomedical policy and practice in Britain. We propose a re-thinking of Brexit through a cultural politics of heredity to capture how biomedicine is structured around genetic understandings of ancestry and health, along with the forms of racial inheritance that structure the state and its welfare system. We explore this in three domains: the NHS and health tourism, data sharing policies between the NHS and the Home Office, and the NHS as an imperially resourced public service. Looking beyond the Brexit referendum campaign, we argue for renewed sociological attention to the relationships between racism, biology, health and inheritance in British society.
