The lack of specific legislation, makes any fragile situation of the people, whether in the actual practice of assisted human reproduction, whether in the situation of children involved. The foreign law has been implemented and tested in some situations which do not have yet a compact, it shows that some situations are derived from customs, as a matter difficult to judge a country's problems, based on the laws of another. The resolution of the Federal Medical Council No 1358/92 and the Federal Constitution of 2008 have been of great help in making sure the quest to solve gaps that the law does not reach.Science, in turn, did not paralyze his studies to expect the law to build a legal form, which triggers the user of the techniques, greater regulation and safety. This work addresses the various regulatory requirements, and also what we have from the Bioethics and Biolaw, still showing the specific foreign laws. It is still only information, but some intolerances that exist on the subject and the real need to use these techniques, due to the large number of children being abandoned in orphanages and homes of government support, waiting for families who are interested in adopting them. There is, in this study, information about other countries and the number of children who await adoption, however, the problem that seeks to face the Brazilian real and the need to deploy all kinds of practices of artificial insemination. There is also the need for viewing by the legislation regarding the various steps of the techniques of assisted human reproduction, and ethical behavior of those involved. Legislation in relation to assisted human reproduction should be developed in a matter of urgency, however, it is necessary that the results are properly studied to better use. The work involves the protection of the entire complex as the human dignity, whether they are already listed in Human Rights, and others who need to be better prepared for the lawfulness of the Assisted Human Reproduction, which will bring very good results and not to the devastating Brazilian citizens. This search for balance between science and law should be the priority in all fields of law, as well as medicine, branch of bioethics and biolaw, both in the use of legal decisions and daily activities of those involved directly as the penalties for liability in tort. The goal is to demonstrate the need for legislation, aimed at identifying gaps and argue about the limitations and role of science and the practices developed in assisted reproduction and its applicability. Comments on the reasons for using the techniques of assisted reproduction, as well as prohibitions on the limit, so importing the protection of human dignity from conception / O Direito atualmente vem enfrentando uma necessidade em todo o mundo, quer países de pequeno, médio ou grande desenvolvimento, que é a implantação de ordenamento legal para avaliar casos que têm conflitos originados na Reprodução Humana Assistida. A falta de legislação específica, torna frágil qualquer situação das pessoas, quer seja na prática concreta da reprodução humana assistida, quer seja na situação da criança envolvida. A legislação estrangeira tem sido implantada e analisada em algumas situações, não comportando ainda uma utilização perfeita, pois demonstra que algumas situações derivam de costumes, importando assim uma dificuldade em julgar problemas de um país, tendo como base a legislação de outro. A Resolução do Conselho Federal de Medicina nº 1.358/92 e a Constituição Federal de 2008 têm sido de grande ajuda para tornar certa a busca de solucionar lacunas que a lei ainda não alcança. A ciência, por sua vez, não paraliza seus estudos para esperar que o Direito construa uma forma legal, que propicie ao utilizador das técnicas, maior regulamento e segurança. Este trabalho aborda as várias necessidades de regulamentação, e também o que se tem a partir da Bioética e do Biodireito, mostrando ainda as legislações estrangeiras específicas. Não se trata ainda somente de informação, mas algumas intolerâncias que existem a respeito do assunto e da verdadeira necessidade de se utilizar destas técnicas, em virtude do grande número de crianças que estão sendo abandonadas em orfanatos e casas de apoio governamental, à espera de famílias que se interessem em adotá-las. Não existe, neste trabalho, informação sobre outros países e o número de crianças que aguardam por adoção, contudo, o problema que se busca enfrentar é o brasileiro, e a necessidade real de se implantar todo tipo de práticas de inseminação artificial. Também existe a necessidade de visualização por parte da legislação no que concerne às várias etapas das técnicas de reprodução humana assistida, e dos comportamentos éticos das pessoas envolvidas. A legislação em relação à reprodução humana assistida, deve ser elaborada em carater urgente, contudo, é necessário que os resultados sejam devidamente estudados para um melhor aproveitamente. O trabalho envolve a proteção de todo o complexo quanto à dignidade da pessoa humana, quer sejam os já indicados nos Direitos Humanos, e outros que precisam ser melhor elaborados, para que a licitude da Reprodução Humana Assistida, venha trazer resultados compensadores e não devastadores aos cidadãos brasileiros. Essa busca de equilíbrio entre a ciência e a lei deve ser a prioridade em todos os setores jurídicos, como também da medicina, dos ramos da bioética e do biodireito, tanto na utilização das decisões jurídicas, das atividades diárias dos envolvidos diretamente como das penalidades em caso de responsabilidade por ato ilícito. O objetivo é demonstrar a necessidade de uma legislação, visando esclarecer lacunas existentes e argumentar a respeito da limitação e da atuação da ciência, quanto às práticas desenvolvidas de reprodução assistida e da sua aplicabilidade. Comenta sobre os motivos de se utilizar as técnicas de reprodução assistida, como também as proibições para as limitar, importando assim a proteção da dignidade da pessoa humana, desde a concepção

In April 1952, Japan emerged from Allied occupation free, peaceful, and democratic. Japan’s presses marked the occasion by declaring a state of crisis: the “konketsuji [mixed-blood children] crisis.” By all accounts, Allied soldiers had sired and abandoned two hundred thousand “mixed-blood” orphans in Japan. However, Chapter One reveals this to be a fabricated crisis or “moral panic.” Surveys found only a few thousand konketsuji nationwide, very few of them orphans. Yet these discoveries did little to change the tenor of “crisis.” Opposition politicians deployed wrath and fear over “blood mixing” to discredit the dominant Liberal Party and its alliance with the United States. They were abetted by an array of postwar activists who used the “crisis” to reconstruct Japanese nationalism, laid low by defeat and occupation, on a new basis: the “pure” race rather than the failed state. Chapter Two explores how the panic over “blood mixing” inevitably embroiled not just children but women as well. Japanese women were subject to intense pressures to eschew sex and family formation with Western men, and to abort “mixed” fetuses on eugenic grounds rather than bear them to term. 1948 marked the beginning of the end of criminal prosecution of abortion in Japan. The law that inaugurated this shift, the Eugenic Protection Law (EPL), is generally viewed as an advancement in women’s rights, despite the fact that the EPL envisioned and promoted the use of abortion as a means of managing the “quality and quantity” of Japan’s population. Scholarship on the links between eugenics and the decriminalization of abortion in Japan is vast, but scholars have yet to probe deeply into how eugenic abortion was applied tocontrol—or forestall—“race mixing” after the war. Although it was politically impossible for the government to impose abortions outright on women who might be pregnant with the children of Japan’s conquerors, such women were nonetheless targeted for eugenic intervention. For these women, abortion was not an option granted in a liberal democracy concerned with women’s rights. Abortion was an imperative imposed by a diverse array of governmental and non-governmental actors united behind an ideology of “pure blood.” Chapter Three explains how postwar scientific presses framed konketsuji born in the wake of World War II as an unprecedented presence. Geneticists, physical anthropologists, clinicians, and other researchers from the late 1940s through the 1970s deployed a “system of silences” to erase Japan’s prewar konketsuji community from view. They thereby not only constructed the Japanese as a racial community bounded by “pure blood,” but denied that the racialized nation ever had or ever could assimilate foreign elements. Scientific spokesmen effected the discursive purification of Japan despite resistance from “mixed-blood” adults who organized to contest the rising tide of racial nationalism. In the process, these scientists severely undercut the “mixed” community’s advocacy of a civically rather than biologically constituted nation. Chapter Four contrasts the decline of race science and eugenics in the West with their efflorescence in postwar Japan, where conditions of occupation heightened the relevance of racial eugenics as a prescription for national unity and strength. It is well known that Anglophone genetics and physical anthropology were led at the mid-century by immigrants and minorities, prominently including Theodosius Dobzhansky and Ashley Montagu. Yet without comparative analysis, it is difficult to weigh the significance of this fact, or of the fact that minorities did not lead the Japanese sciences. Japanese geneticists and anthropologists whoidentified as having “pure Japanese blood” never questioned that biopolitical category or the costs it imposed on those it excluded. I argue that who practiced science counts for much more than is allowed by objectivist narratives of self-correcting scientific “progress.” My project explains for the first time why racial nationalism and an ethos of ethnic cleansing triumphed in Japan at the very moment these forces receded in other contexts.

A infertilidade é para muitas mulheres geradora de sofrimento psíquico, visto que a reprodução humana condiz com a perpetuação do ser. Tendo como método de estudo a psicanálise, podemos pensar o desejo de filho como sintoma do laço conjugal e, ainda na cultura contemporânea, inscrição de feminilidade para algumas mulheres. Casais inférteis, atualmente, têm a chance de recorrer às Novas Tecnologias de Reprodução Assistida, ao invés de buscar a adoção ou de permanecer sem filhos. Esta pesquisa faz uma discussão acerca das chamadas Novas Tecnologias Reprodutivas e estuda os efeitos que a infertilidade tem no psiquismo e na condição subjetiva dos sujeitos de desejo. Busca dissociar a demanda consciente de ter um filho do desejo inconsciente que opera na produção subjetiva, fazendo sintoma. Também, faz questão quanto à diferenciação do desejo de ter um filho ao desejo de maternidade e suas implicações na articulação das pulsões. / To most women, infertility is a generator of psychic suffering, considering that human reproduction aims the perpetuation of the living being. Having Psychoanalysis as a study method, we may see the will of having a child as a conjugal symptom and, still in contemporaneity, femininity enrollment to some females. Nowadays, infertile couples have the chance to appeal to New Assisted Reproduction Technologies instead of adoption or even remaining without descendents. This research discusses the so-called new reproductive technologies and studies the impacts that infertility has in the psychism and in the subjective condition. It pursuits to dissociate the conscious demand of having a child from unawareness, which may operate in the subjective production causing symptoms. Also, it questions the difference of wishing a child, the motherhood will and their implication on the articulation of the drives.

The relationship between the state and the people is a central theme in political theory. Discussions in this field have often centered on how a people can come to constitute a state. Less attention, however, has been directed toward the state’s role in constituting and recreating its people. This book examines the Swedish state’s role in forming the people by regulating the use of reproductive techniques: insemination, in vitro fertilization (IVF), and donations of sperm and eggs. The study focuses on how the issue of assisted reproduction was handled and problematized in Swedish policymaking between 1981 and 2005. What problem representations dominated the political debates and decision-making processes surrounding assisted reproduction? How was conflict expressed within the field of reproductive politics (i.e., what aspects caused conflict or political disagreement)? How did collective fantasies play into the political treatment of reproductive technologies? Using historical government and Riksdag material, four major policy debates have been analyzed, from the first legal regulation of assisted reproduction in Sweden in the 1980s up until the inclusion of lesbian couples as beneficiaries of gamete donation. Theoretically, the study is inspired by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe’s political discourse theory, Lacanian psychoanalysis, and the “logics approach” developed by Jason Glynos and David Howarth. This combination of perspectives allows for a dual focus on both the form of political articulations and their affective force. Thus, the analysis tries to capture what was taken for granted within the discourse on reproduction (social logics), what arose as points of political conflict or contention (political logics), as well as the affective underpinnings of these social constructions and struggles (fantasmatic logics). The main result of the study is that even though the period saw a quite revolutionary development of new reproductive technologies, the reproduction policies under study took on much more moderate and hesitant character. Throughout the analyzed period there was a more or less consensual view that new reproductive technologies should only be allowed if they did not go against the “child’s best interest.” At the same time, there was significant political conflict over what constituted this interest. Moreover, the reforms that were made never fully embraced the radical implications of the new technologies. Rather, they clung on to previously established patterns of what a “real” family looked like. Thus, every move to allow a new technology or include another category of people as legitimate users of that technology was contingent upon the articulation of a discursive equivalence with previously naturalized methods of reproduction, ultimately taking the heterosexual, nuclear family as an implicit model. Finally, I argue that the production of “sense” in this terrain of radical undecidability was dependent on the mobilization of a series of collective fantasies about “natural life processes,” “nature’s imperfections,” “a humanist view of mankind,” “the stable, original nuclear family”, and so on.

This thesis examines a primary question raised by both Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas: What constitutes the beginning of a human being? Aristotle and Aquinas raise this question for very different reasons. Modern critical commentators revisit it for their own reasons, namely for the purposes of ethical debates surrounding conception and abortion. They frequently attribute the notions of delayed ensoulment and quickening to Aristotle. Through examination of the primary texts, I demonstrate that this attribution is erroneous. Aristotle contends that ensoulment is substantially complete at conception, though subject to gradual actualization throughout the lifespan of a human being; while Thomas suggests that conception is a process, requiring several substantial changes before a human soul is infused. I argue that Aquinas adapts Aristotle in accordance with his Christian theological commitments, and modern commentators follow him to develop their own notions of delayed ensoulment and quickening.

The specific objectives were: to evaluate the adaptive efficacy; verify and identify the repercussions associated with these abortion; and verify the repercussions that affect the adaptive efficacy. The instrument used in this study was the clinical preventive interview (EDAO Operationalized Adaptive Diagnostic Scale). Ten (10) women who were currently attending the Assisted Human Reproduction Ambulatory participated in the study. The results show that the abortion has an important repercussion in both internal and external worlds of the participant women. Both induced and spontaneous abortion were related to with intense angust, sadness, guilt, and inferiority feelings. Women who had spontaneous abortion predominantly presented fear of suffering it again; whereas those who provoked the abortion presented strong feelings of guilt. Women who attend a Human Reproduction Ambulatory present intense angst and great expectations towards treatment. The experience with the pregnancy attempt treatment added to the prior miscarriage experience intensified the angst of these women. Brief operationalized psychotherapy can help patients deal more adequately with the conflicts experienced during treatment. This specific study also contributes with the elaboration of prior losses. This study questions upon the emotional experience of women that seek pregnancy treatments after going through provoked or spontaneous miscarriages. Further research is vital to broaden comprehension on the subject.(AU) / O objetivo principal desta pesquisa foi investigar eficácia adaptativa de mulheres que vivenciaram abortamento e freqüentam um Ambulatório de Reprodução Humana. Os objetivos específicos foram: avaliar a eficácia adaptativa; identificar as repercussões psicológicas destes abortamentos. O instrumento utilizado foi a entrevista clínica preventiva- EDAO (Escala Diagnóstica Adaptativa Operacionalizada). Participaram do estudo 10 mulheres que freqüentavam um Ambulatório especializado em Reprodução Assistida. Os resultados deste trabalho revelaram que o abortamento teve uma repercussão importante no mundo interno e externo das mulheres que participaram desta pesquisa. Os abortamentos provocados e espontâneos são relatados com intensa angústia, tristeza, culpa e sentimentos de inferioridade. No caso do abortamento espontâneo predomina o medo de perder novamente, e no caso de aborto provocado, predominam sentimentos de culpa. As pacientes, de forma geral, apresentam intensa angústia e expectativa em relação ao tratamento; porém a experiência do tratamento para engravidar, somado à experiência anterior de abortamento, intensificou as angústias dessas mulheres. A psicoterapia breve operacionalizada pode auxiliar a paciente a lidar de forma mais adequada com os conflitos vividos no tratamento. E no caso específico deste estudo, auxiliar também a elaboração das perdas anteriores. Este estudo trouxe questionamentos relevantes sobre a vivência emocional de mulheres que buscam tratamento para engravidar e já sofreram abortamento espontâneo ou provocado. A realização de outros estudos é fundamental para maior compreensão do tema.(AU)

Esta dissertação tem como objetivo discutir o princípio do anonimato de doadores de gametas na reprodução assistida. Inspiramo-nos no termo cunhado pela antropóloga norte-americana Charis Thompson, coreografia ontológica – termo que visa explicitar os diferentes modos pelos quais os aspectos técnicos, científicos, legais, políticos e financeiros do parentesco são coordenados nas clínicas de RA. Para melhor entender os diferentes elementos da questão, escolhemos três agentes centrais que, ao mesmo tempo, revelam e influenciam essa “coreografia”. São eles: a divulgação jornalística, os especialistas da área e a legislação. Entendemos que ainda que a ciência impressa nessas tecnologias tenha pretensões universais, os modos de conhecer tais procedimentos são dados a partir de “epistemologias cívicas” e operacionalizados a partir de “estratégias nacionais de regulamentação”. Por essa razão acreditamos que o método comparativo ilumina a especificidade dos diferentes casos e faz com que esses objetos produzam comentários recíprocos um sobre o outro. Além de conduzir entrevistas entre médicos e embriologistas especializados na reprodução assistida, nessa dissertação nos comparamos a divulgação jornalística de quatro países e a legislação de outros cinco. Tais comparações nos permitem visualizar o modo como a reprodução assistida e mais especificamente o anonimato de doadores tem sido configurados no jogo de semelhanças e diferenças; as lógicas que conduzem da prática a proibição; as razões que explicam por que a busca por irmãos é mais aceitável do que a busca por pais genéticos, e os pesos relativos da adoção e da doação de gametas. / In this dissertation, we discuss the principle of anonymity concerning the donors of gametes in the process of assisted reproduction. Our analysis is inspired in the term ontological choreography, coined by North American anthropologist Charis Thompson to describe the technical, scientific, legal, political and financial aspects of kinship that are coordinated in the clinics of assisted maternity. In order to better understand the different elements in question, we have chosen three central agents that simultaneously reveal and influence this “choreography”: journalistic articles, specialists in the area and legislation. We consider that, although the science present in these technologies has universal pretensions, the ways in which we come to know these procedures are conditioned by “civic epistemologies” and operationalized according to “national styles of regulamentation”. For this reason, we believe that the comparative method illuminates the specificity of different cases, causing each context to shed light on the others. Aside from conducting interviews among Brazilian doctors and embryologists specialized in assisted reproduction, we compare in this dissertation the journalistic divulgation of four countries and the legislation of another five. Such comparisons permit us to visualize the way in which assisted reproduction, and specifically donor anonymity, take shape in the play between similarities and differences; the logics that lead from practice to prohibition; the explanations why the search for siblings is more easily accepted than the search for genetic parents, and the relative weights attributed to adoption and the donation of gametes.
