Taking the category ‘crisis of innovation’ as an entry point and engaging with the economics literature in which it has been discussed for nearly twenty years, this paper uses the vast historiography of post-WWII pharmacy to propose a critical historical understanding of the crisis. It argues that the features to which the crisis discourses point originate in the long-term contradictions between use value and exchange that affect the dominant regime of pharmaceutical innovation, i.e., <i>the screening regime</i> of research and development. These tensions have accumulated over the past two decades and become more visible, leading to a new reading of the present turn toward bio-capital, i.e., toward biotechnology and a more speculative (financial) economy of pharmacy. The last section of the paper discusses the theoretical implications of this hypothesis.</p>","PeriodicalId":46976,"journal":{"name":"Biosocieties","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140888055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the benefits of openness now widely discussed, and often legally mandated, it is timely to explore the challenges families face in enacting openness when donor assisted conception is still a complex legal and social issue. Our premise is that the difficulties associated with enacting openness should be subject to at least as much scrutiny as the secrecy of past practices. To make our case, we draw on qualitative, socio-legal and sociological research with same-sex, sole parent and heterosexual donor-conceived families in the UK and Australia. We argue that exhortations to openness about donor conception ignore important relational considerations of families if they rely on a moral discourse that being open is the right thing to do, devoid of any context about how, when and by whom this is achieved. Demands for openness need to take into account the situated care relationships of family members, the timing of and manner in which information is imparted, and the fact that this information can fundamentally disrupt or transform the family lives of those to whom it is revealed.</p>","PeriodicalId":46976,"journal":{"name":"Biosocieties","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140887981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We disambiguate the different senses of two key terms: ‘biopolitics’, and ‘life’, and try to show how particular authors in the biopolitics literature draw on and emphasize different versions of these concepts.
