Abstract

The article aims to approach an analysis, in the form of an analytical essay regarding the practices of guarding stem cells. The so-called personalized and regenerative medicine emerges linked to neoliberal capitalism and to a modality of conduct based on biomedicine and a life management policy focused on the neoliberal insurance market. Health was transformed into a trade in cells and sustained by the tactics of bioeconomics, biovalue and biotechnologies, articulated in a governmental device that regulates healthy being, based on the purchase and sale of biomolecular and genetic materials. In conclusion, we seek to question the way of organizing and functioning of public and private umbilical cord stem cell banks and the effects of these biopolitical mechanisms.
