| Resumo: | [EN] This article aims at showing how women's bodies and those of their children participated in the construction of medical genetics. Genetics has focused in women and children since this biomedical space emerged in the clinic between the late 1950s and early 1960s. It was so because the fertility agenda guided the studies and ways of thinking on traits' heredity in medical genetics. In order to develop this idea I present a history of genetics' images during that period. Visual narratives transited from human bodies to their chromosomes, to be back to bodies, so as to finally include medical genetics and its diagnosis among the rights that the culture of reproduction has provided to women during the era of foetal press and obstetrics ultrasound scanning. |
