Zusammenfassung
Reproduktive Technologien und genetische Testverfahren werden oftmals als medizinische Serviceleistungen angepriesen, die nicht nur den Wunsch nach Fortpflanzung erfüllen, sondern auch den nach gesundem, vielversprechendem Nachwuchs mit hohen Erfolgsaussichten. Wenn die Ursache des Problems in der Unfruchtbarkeit gesehen wird, muss sie zu diesem Zwecke wie ein krankheitsähnlicher Status konzeptualisiert werden, der einer Besserung durch medizinische Intervention unterworfen ist. Bevor genetische Testverfahren initiiert werden können, muss sich eine Vorstellung des Embryo und des Fötus als patientenähnliche Wesen entwickelt haben, die völlig oder größtenteils unabhängig vom Körper der Mutter sind. Allerdings würden reproduktive Technologien und genetische Testverfahren ohne den Wunsch der ‚KonsumentInnen‘, mit ihnen zu kooperieren, auf die Forschungslabore beschränkt bleiben. Dass dies nicht der Fall ist, deutet darauf hin, dass ein bestimmtes Wissen über den ‚Wert‘ der individuellen Reproduktion und über die Produktion gesunder Nachkommen in Umlauf ist, an dem zumindest zum Teil Beschäftigte im Gesundheitswesen und ihre KlientInnen gleichermaßen partizipieren.
