the Body Elective

"New Bodies for Old: The Art and Science of the Body Elective" is the title of a chapter of the book I am reading. It is https://books.google.com/books?id=iiE3RsvK248C&pg=PP7&lpg=PP7&dq=. The writer herself says:

this chapter shows how traditional attitudes to the body as God’s marvellous machine have altered as the world has become secularised. It also looks at the somewhat squeamish work being produced by artists relishing in new gene technologies.

As I read on, the chapter is about the recreation of body parts and organs in artworks and genetic sciences. Does "New Bodies for Old" mean "new bodies instead of old bodies"? and does "the Body Elective" mean "body replacement"?
