 abstract = {This article presents an artistic and political experiment as an effort to advance                democratic transactions in the life sciences. Artists built a ‘gender                democratic labyrinth’ in Maastricht, in which scientists,                women’s groups, people in general, artists, philosophers, politicians,                journalists, clinical geneticists and many others interacted and negotiated on the                creation of human embryos for medical-scientific research (a subject kept open in                the Dutch Embryo Law of September 2002 to decide within a few years). By taking a                gender perspective on the process of democratizing science, we aimed to create a                space in which alterity and difference are constitutive elements in the public                exchanges on science and technology. The idea to build a labyrinth was theoretically                based on the notion of agonistic democracy - in which pluralism is the result of                contestations and divisions - and on a notion of science and technology as being                contextualized and socialized.},
