Artificial Rejuvenation and Artificial Sex Transformation is Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld's bold and accessible exploration of early 20th-century rejuvenation science and the experimental biology that challenged the boundaries of age, identity, and the human body itself. Drawing on the groundbreaking research of Wilhelm Roux and Eugen Steinach, Hirschfeld presents the once-sensational idea that aging could be reversed-and that sexuality itself could be transformed-through targeted biological intervention.

Written for a general audience, this work captures a moment when scientific optimism collided with cultural anxiety, offering a rare window into the hopes, fears, and radical possibilities of the Weimar era. Suppressed by the Nazi regime in 1933, the book remains a testament to Hirschfeld's lifelong commitment to scientific inquiry, human diversity, and the pursuit of knowledge against political repression.

This new translation by Michael Lombardi-Nash, PhD. restores Hirschfeld's voice with clarity and historical fidelity, making this landmark text accessible to modern readers interested in:

Early sexology and LGBTQ+ history

The origins of rejuvenation science

Weimar-era scientific culture

The life and work of Magnus Hirschfeld

The political suppression of scientific ideas

A vital document of scientific imagination and cultural history, Artificial Rejuvenation, Artificial Sex Transformation invites readers to revisit a forgotten chapter in the story of human identity, medical experimentation, and the quest for youth.
