The article focuses on parents’ contributions to the bioeconomy as providers of bodily tissues —stem cells , blood, breast milk or other samples of biological materials—to be preserved, employed in research or used to produce bio-objects by bioeconomic companies. Santoro and Romero-Bachiller draw on recent STS and feminist writing on care to argue that thinking through care allows for a more nuanced approach to the analysis of citizens’ and patients’ emergent forms of subjectivity and agency brought about by new biotechnologies. eng http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ restricted access Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Thinking (Bioeconomies) Through Care: Patients’ Engagement with the Bioeconomies of Parenting book part
