In this article we propose to reflect on the parenthood shared by two lesbian women from the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires (Argentina) who decide to have children
through a treatment with new reproductive technologies (NTR) -artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, reception of ovules of the couple-, within the
framework of biological citizenships during the period 2010-2015.
On the one hand, we seek to inscribe NTR in the field of biomedicine, as part of optimization technologies. These are not merely medical or technological technologies
of health, but are technologies of life (Rose, 2012: 46).
On the other hand, we analyze the practices of comaternal families and the transformations in the ways of meaning the reproduction within the framework of biological
citizenships. We will focus on the claims of LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans) and lesbian mothers groups related to the recognition of their rights as users of assisted human reproduction treatments, and the coverage by the State. Such claims have taken place in the sanctioning stage of the Assisted Fertilization Law
of the Province of Buenos Aires N° 14.208/10, subsequently sanctioned National
Assisted Fertilization Law N° 26.862/13 and the recent reform of the civil code.
