Abstract
This article discusses dominant trends and countertrends in genetics and biotechnology for healthcare, based mainly on the theoretical approaches of Rose, Haraway, and Braidotti and their followers, which are reformulated for the context of development and directed towards a positive recreation of gender relations and sustainable development. The principal conceptual elements of these theories include: the rise of the biopolitical citizen, the development of biosocialities, and the construction of biopolitics focused on genetic responsibility and body ethics.
