摘要：

The following article analyses >bio science drama< - a contemporary subgenre of plays dealing with biomedicine such as reprogenetics - in regard to the sociological concept of >doing family<. After a brief introduction to the theoretical concepts applied, the article examines three plays: R. Hochhuth's Immaculate Conception, C. Djerassi's An immaculate misconception, and F. Zeller's Desire and Miracle. Combining textual analysis with the semiotics of theatre and drama, investigation of the plays shows that >bio science drama< is a new political subgenre of drama playing out mainly two things. 1.) latest biomedical developments have a great impact in contemporary family formation; 2.) these technological developments bear also great potential to re-produce ultra conservative gender stereotypes and reassure the unsustainable idea of the (male) autonomous subject.
