TORRES-QUIROGA, Miguel Ángel. Reproductive posthumanism around the corner (reproductive exploitation 3.0). Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2022, n.56, pp.145-161.  Epub 17-Jul-2023. ISSN 1886-5887.  https://dx.doi.org/10.1344/rbd2022.56.40545.

Posthumanist intellectual and ideological currents advocate the overcoming of several biological limits of humankind. The rupture includes reproductive issues to care for posthuman dignity. In this work, I want to outline questions of trans and reproductive posthumanism interested in surrogacy in its different modalities. Gestational surrogacy is relevant to redirect reproduction following criteria that enhance individual choice. I begin by underlining the liberal heritage in the social movement for human enhancement and procreative choice. Next, I suggest that surrogacy could be considered as likely posthuman reproduction by drawing on gender studies and the permissiveness of commercial sex. Thus, the reproductive posthumanist goals envision an agenda different from the feminist one. Posthuman and feminist perspectives propose horizons of reproductive justice that will need to be critiqued in context before nation-states proceed with reforms.

Palabras clave : posthumanism; transhumanism; feminism; reproductive exploitation; gestational surrogacy.
