Resumo


Introduction: Biotechnologies are the contemporary medical technologies that interfere in
vital processes, involving social relations that put in circulation new meanings about life and
about optimizing the future. Promises and prospects arising from the biotechnology field
occupy a place of excellence and centrality, guiding both the wishes of subjects and
perspectives of professionals enhance life. We can mention as an example the use of stem
cells for handicap’s persons aiming to recover their motor functions. It is possible to say that
the biotechnologies have gained an increasing space in physical deficiency treatments.
Objective: To discuss Biotechnologies discourses and its interface with physically disabled’s
stem cells treatments. Methodology: Experience report of theoretical productions coming
from the Biotechnology research project and care practices - speeches of teachers and
academics. Discussion: By creating different ways of body’s understanding, biotechnologies
make its existence possible and enhance the notion that one can act on oneself and correct
aspects that are outside the imposed rules. The stem cells will be reassigning important
cellular functions in the rehabilitation of body’s movements. These are health practices that
reframe this handicap body in its most intimate and essential aspects. This aspect highlights
the emergence of biotechnologies that have caused cultural and political implications on the
perception of disability. Final considerations: The making of oneself through biotechnologies is
at life’s service that must be consumed daily. Regarding disability, biotechnologies aim
recovering the physical conditions "taken" as normal. Biotechnologies are not imposed, they
are strategies built under certain conditions, which are constantly changing. We can say that
they also function as forms of government, as they control the possibility of intervention and
correction of life, making it an artifact that must be modified. It is the pos
