This paper is devoted to the contemporary medical practices in terms of medicalised world and “the birth of somatic individuality” (C.Novas and N.Rose, 2000).

I am trying to articulate different approaches to the health/illness interpretation and to avoid simple critique of modern medical “techniques” as repressive power and artificial optimization. However, it seems to me more actual to think about medicine not in “global”
