Abstract
The author plays with bioethics of displacement as a means of addressing modern society's caste systems through civil disobedience. Using the Nepali case as an initial example, the author exposes the atrocities that arise from social structure and the dual global pyramids perpetuating inequality. On the other hand, the author emphasises the need for patient rebels to create a sense of belonging and draw attention to injustices. In a global context, both injustices and threats require a global response, and individuals have the moral agency to rebel against injustice. For this to happen, rebellion must ground on moral legitimacy rather than opportunism. Otherwise, whatever is gotten won't bring a more just society.
