this is just to say that gender figures into technoscience in a major way as I think we all know. There's lots
of writing on this already--The Visible Woman, Cyborg Babies, Flesh Machine, Haraway's books, etc. It is also a
concern which is being addressed by some cyberfeminists. I have been working on this issue for several years in
my art (embryoworlds, etc) and in collaboration with others. Subrosa, a feminist  production and activist group
I started, based in Pittsburgh, is doing work on this subject, as are many other groups worldwide. I advocate
organizing open forums for discussions of this topic with scientists and doctors attending. So far this list
seems pretty repetitive and useless to me--a very closed forum. Sorry, just my opinion.
