Biopolitics

Biopolitics refers to the political relations between the administration of life and a locality's populations, where politics and law evaluate life based on perceived constants and traits. French philosopher Michel Foucault, who wrote about and gave lectures dedicated to his theory of biopolitics, wrote that it is "to ensure, sustain, and multiply life, to put this life in order."

Not to be confused with Biocontrol.
