| Abstract | The author draws attention to the changes in the perception of the body in corporeal reproduction under the influence of 'non-heterosexual reproductive practices'. The new molecular technologies employed in reproduction offer an alternative to and redefine what is regarded as natural or biological. The concept of queering reproductive practices emphasises the transgressive nature of the new developments in this branch of medicine. |
