The process of judicialization of the bio political takes a singular shape in today Argentina. Life policies, from the end of the military dictatorship (1976-1983) are going to be doubly conditioned by the effects of state terrorism: on the one hand, the demand for life constitutes the initial political requirement to legitimize virtually all forms of interference in collective life, on the other hand, the biological link between generations is displayed perhaps the most powerful material and symbolic support that sustain the emergence of new social movements (MADRES de Plaza de Mayo, ABUELAS, FAMILIARES, HIJOS) providing a format to disengage and to attach the biological with specific political demands. In this new format, biomedical developments are engaged in opposite strategic directions that enable or limit the powers that the state has to take over some aspect of biological existence of its citizens. To enable this analysis, we critically examine those aspects of the theoretical perspective engendered by Michel Foucault and Nikolas Rose later developments, which contribute to the necessary conceptualization for a policy analytic ongoing real life.
