The only unifying and all-embracing experience, shared unarguably
by all women and men consists of the months' long period, which
we have lived inside a woman's body, in order to develop (Adrienne
Rich). Similarly up to the present all human beings of all cultures
are still being born from the bodies of women. Human relationship
is thus an all-embracing, basic cultural experience, which determines
human life existentially..
In this context questions about the meanings of being born and
the cultural and all-embracing potentials of the relationship
of birth will be asked, about the story or stories of the beginning
and accordingly, what we have to lose on the "way to the
motherless society," which biotechnological "progress"
is offering us.
