This research bias indirectly places more responsibility on women to control their fertility. In effect, the greater role placed upon women in reproduction can dangerously position the female as either being equivalent or closer to nature. Conceptualizing women as closer to nature is only possible when there is a distinction between nature and humans. The dichotomies are overlapping because what is defined as male is equivalent to culture, symbolized by the rational, and what is defined as female is analogous to nature, symbolized by the instinctual. The overwhelming majority of persons on whose bodies these men experiment are female.
Reproductive technology is a product of the male reality.
The technology is male-generated and buttresses male power over women. Mies identifies the motivation to develop the technologies not as a concern for women but rather as an attempt to gain the acceptance of all people. This narrative has the power to exclude the insincere concern for human dignity in order to attain control over women s reproductive capacity. The next sphere of Warren s conceptualization of ecofeminism that I will address in terms of reproductive technologies is feminism. In this redefined process of reproduction, the dependent relationship between mother and child is interrupted.
