چکیده

Gostaria de destacar no artigo em debate a sua atualidade e a perspectiva de não redução da biossegurança a procedimentos de avaliação de risco, ampliando-a para um escopo que inclui sua contextualização fundamental para atitudes precaucionárias tanto no nível individual, como no social e no institucional. As autoras iniciam seu artigo conceituando o campo da biossegurança. Faz um contraponto ao conceito inglês de biossegurança centrado em procedimentos para controle de riscos especialmente no ambiente de laboratório, apresenta o desafio diante da ampliação e da intensificação das situações de riscos frente ao desenvolvimento das biotecnologias e de outras que penetram os corpos vivos, as mentes humanas e a sociedade, afetando assim, em profundidade, suas três ecologias, como nos apresenta Félix Guattari.
