Abstract
Il dibattito etico sulle nuove tecnologie riproduttive (come ad esempio la fecondazione assistita o la maternità surrogata, ma anche iltrapianto dell’utero) – concentrandosi su questioni relative a permissibilitàe giustificazione morale – trascura una problematica importante: le tecnologie riproduttive perpetuano un modello particolaredi legami parentali – quello biologico; e sono per questomotivo tutt’altro che neutrali: promuovono infatti una concezionetradizionale della famiglia.
I offer a feminist perspective on reproductive technologies accordingto which the ethical permissibility of such practices does not answer allnormative questions; there is a further and possibly more fundamental questionthat needs to be addressed about the role that such technologies playwithin our social structures. Here I argue – using the example of IVF-with-ROPA, a recent development that allows lesbian couples to share biological motherhood – that reproductive technologies perpetuate prejudices about thevalue of biological ties and therefore, far from challenging patriarchal oppression,those practices reinforce the discriminatory status quo.
