Feminist bioethical reflection is notoriously rich and participatory. This essay does not propose a reconnaissance survey of the different positions that can be recognized and distinguished in it, but investigates, from the perspective of legal feminism, two pivotal principles that invest any discussion in the bioethical sphere: freedom and responsibility. The intention is to understand the currently existing relationship that currently exists between the genderized conceptions of these two principles, their neoliberal interpretations, and the instrumental use of women's bodies, which continues to be understood -expressed even legitimately, on a legal level-as a means of satisfying the needs of others and of governing populations. Bioethics and biopolitics,in this perspective, end up blurring and merging in the question of today's (neoliberal) articulations and transformations of power.Keywords: liberty, responsibility, neoliberalism, feminism, equality.

Abstract

Feminist bioethical reflection is notoriously rich and participatory. This essay does not propose a reconnaissance survey of the different positions that can be recognized and distinguished in it, but investigates, from the perspective of legal feminism, two pivotal principles that invest any discussion in the bioethical sphere: freedom and responsibility. The intention is to understand the currently existing relationship that currently exists between the genderized conceptions of these two principles, their neoliberal interpretations, and the instrumental use of women's bodies, which continues to be understood -expressed even legitimately, on a legal level-as a means of satisfying the needs of others and of governing populations. Bioethics and biopolitics,in this perspective, end up blurring and merging in the question of today's (neoliberal) articulations and transformations of power.Keywords: liberty, responsibility, neoliberalism, feminism, equality.
