Abstract

Conform traditiei legilor nescrise, exista un principiu ce interzice proprietatea asupra corpului uman. Luând în considerare proprietatea ca fiind un concept proteic, lucrarea de fata examineaza modul în care proprietatea este definita si aplicata în dispute legislative recente, purtate in S.U.A, privind entitatiile „cu o viata potentiala", precum sunt embrionii si fetusii. O scurta trecere în revista a abordarilor teoretice si a legilor nescrise, toate privind proprietatea asupra trupului, este urmata de o analiza a sase cazuri legale din S.U.A, în cadrul carora sperma, zigotii, embrionii si fetusii au devenit noi subiecte legale, pe fundalul tenologiilor reproductive asistate. Studiul de fata conchide ca proprietatea este functionala nu numai în scopul de a privatiza, a comodifica si a face sa circule, ci în scopul de a aduce entitatiile „cu viata potentiala" mai aproape de oameni si de a le implica mai adanc în retelele relationale.
