Abstract

TEIXEIRA, Leônia Cavalcante. Sobre quimeras contemporâneas, ciência e psicanális. Rev. Mal-Estar Subj. [online]. 2001, vol.1, n.1, pp. 150-170. ISSN 1518-6148.

This writing points out some subjective and social vicissitudes originary from the rapid invasion of new reproductive technologies of our day by day trying not to assume a prejudicious and unilateral look of defense or of attack, but opting for the confrontation among conflicting ideas as the ones from Héritier-Augé, Jean Baudrillard and Pierre Lévy. Is in the ethics field that our expectations, demands and frustrations need to be experienced, not being extirpated the more precious ideas that sustain us while human beings: life, death, abandoning and erotism, in order not to be seduced and prisioned by utopias that we ourselves are creating.

Keywords : science; contemporary; culture; ethics; genetics.
