This essay attempts to search for a prospective feminist discourse of new reproductive technologies in the 21st century of technoscience, by examining diverse feminist interventions engaged in discourses of reproductive politics and new reproductive technologies influencing and contesting each other. In the technoscientific age, reproduction issues are taken up not just as sexual politics but as the conquest of the last frontier of masculinist technology and post-industrial capitalistic politics. New reproductive technologies which are inextricably linked with genetic engineering and engenics are developed and contested within broader technoscientific cultural and social networks. Women therefore need to address new reproductive technologies with a new feminist sensibility and technoscientific politics which can address the dramatic crises and challenges of the new era. Radical feminists or eco-feminists often overlook the subversive possibilities of feminist technopolitics for destablizing patriarchal structures, dismissing technoscience as inherently patriarchal and malignant. But new reproductive technologies also introduce new possibilities for disruption and resistance. Haraway`s cyborg feminism has stimulated optimistic insights into feminist technopolitics by appropriating cyborg politics. This essay examines and incorporates the most complex and urgent discourses of the technoscientific age, searching for a new praxis of the female body in regard to new reproductive technologies and feminist technopolitics.
