Relazione e de-somatizzazione. Per un approccio relazionale al tema della generazione extracorporea

The generation (both in or outside the body), having to do with the origin of human beings, for its same nature has an high anthropological density and it can’t be banalized as mere transmission of genetic information neither as a reproduction, term that is more apt to zootechny rather than to human being.The text takes in examination the matter of the generation starting from the constitutive relationality of the human being, investigating the anthropological meaning of our native ‘being-with’ that firstly is manifested in our “have been born from a woman”. Hence we discover that the selves are not necessarily separated and that the dependence takes part in the definition of human being. For this reason, generation can’t be thought as a question of individual rights only. The maternity, in a first time denigrated by the feminist movements, later has been positively recovered by the same thinkers of the women’s studies; the techno-sciences have been read and interpreted as the tool of liberation of maternity from the biological ties and for its realization accordingly with individual projects. Just such elements are faced here beginning from the originating relationship with a woman. The text also shows how the importance granted in the Medical Assisted Reproduction to the biology to the detriment of soma (that is personal female and personal masculine) changes the perception of the humanity of the generative event and keeps at a distance the ineludible relationships implicated in it.
