“…The view has been put forward that no genital surgery should be performed until the child is old enough to understand the situation and make his or her own decision [9]. There has also been considerable debate in the medical and ethics literature about the management of DSD, which addresses issues such as ethical failings of past medical practice, informed consent, the right of parents to make decisions about surgery for infants when the consequences are so far-reaching and fundamental to personal identity; and whether children should be surgically altered to suit the norms of societies which happen to see gender only in stereotypical binary terms [10,11,12,13]. In the context of these sorts of controversies, there have been moves in Australia (and also in Colombia) to have decision-making taken out of the hands of parents and doctors, and placed with the law courts.…”

The Fifth World Congress on Family Law and Children’s Rights (Halifax, August 2009) adopted a resolution endorsing a new set of ethical guidelines for the management of infants and children with disorders of sex development (DSD) [www.lawrights.asn.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=76&Itemid=109]. The ethical principles developed by our group were the basis for the Halifax Resolution. In this paper, we outline these principles and explain their basis. The principles are intended as the ethical foundation for treatment decisions for DSD, especially decisions about type and timing of genital surgery for infants and young children. These principles were formulated by an analytic review of clinician reasoning in particular cases, in relation to established principles of bioethics, in a process consistent with the Rawlsian concept of reflective equilibrium as the method for building ethical theory. The principles we propose are: (1) minimising physical risk to child; (2) minimising psychosocial risk to child; (3) preserving potential for fertility; (4) preserving or promoting capacity to have satisfying sexual relations; (5) leaving options open for the future, and (6) respecting the parents’ wishes and beliefs.

“…Después de la Revolución sexual del decenio del 60, en el siglo XX, se dieron notables cambios en los comportamientos sexuales de la sociedad occidental 21 . los desligaron de la función reproductiva y ocasionaron una especie de implosión que se manifestó socialmente como la expresión de una autonomía sexual que solicitaba un mejor desempeño, más en la dimensión placentera que en la reproductiva.…”

ResumenEl trans-y posthumanismo sexual se interpreta en dos vertientes: como expresión del cansancio sexual y desplazamiento hacia sexualidades marginales marcadas por las prótesis y los fetiches. Este artículo muestra, desde una aproximación bioética y biopolítica, que pueden distinguirse una estructura triangular: el sujeto sexual cansado, en el que operan diversas tensiones expresadas como disfunción sexual, depresión y monotonía. El hibrido sexual en el que se produce la integración máquina-organismo bajo el que operan todas las intervenciones de la tecnociencia, que a manera de prótesis se insertan en el funcionamiento sexual. Por último, está en ensamble sexual que alude a la modificación del entorno en función de su aprovechamiento con fines eróticos.Palabras clave: Posthumanismo, transhumanismo, sexualidad, fetiches, prótesis, bioética, biopolítica. Abstract Trans-humanist/post-humanist sexuality is interpreted in two ways
