It combines two aspects of biopower, as it was defined by Michel Foucault (1999): anatomo-politics of human body and the biopolitics of the population. It focus on effectivness growing of body on the reproduction area and "corrects" reproductive individual dysfunctions. Reproductive medicine is strongly interconnect with technological apparatus, commodification of health and illness and definition of normality and abnormality in the Czech republic. The Body, ecpecially women's body, is perceived like a machine within those processes.
