- Reproducción transnacional con terceros: el mercado reproductivo en Brasil(2022) MACHIN, RosanaAbstract The expansion of assisted reproductive technologies has led to an increase in the mobility of people and genetic material on a global scale. Access to third party fertility is characteristic of this expansion. This context includes countries with different regulations and practices that imply different logics of mobility in a convergent, contradictory and interdependent way. It is a complex market, dependent on the reproductive work of women, whether it is paid work or not. To evaluate the situation of the sex cells market in Brazil, a study was carried out with a qualitative methodology and documentary analysis of the gamete import records. A total of 33 semistructured interviews were conducted with reproductive health professionals between 2016-2018. Among the main results, we highlight that the medical regulation adopted in the country, the existence of legal loopholes and the growing demand for gametes favored the increase in the importation of genetic material from semen banks in the United States and from egg banks in Spain. The different regulatory systems operating in these countries promote the sex cell market by reinforcing the business logic of the power of supply/demand.
- La monoparentalidad femenina elegida en Brasil: estrategias reproductivas(2022) MACHIN, Rosana; WATARI, Fernanda Lye; COUTO, Marcia TherezaAbstract A growing phenomenon in several countries, maternal single parenting by choice is gaining momentum due to assisted reproductive technologies (ART), which enable women to become mothers using genetic material from third parties. We will investigate the reasons behind the choice to become a single mother through access to assisted reproductive technologies. This qualitative empirical study is supported by ten semi-structured interviews with women of childbearing age, residents of São Paulo state (SP), Brazil, who were seeking, undergoing or had undergone ART, with or without success. Participants were recruited using the snowball method and the number of interviews was limited via theoretical saturation. Reproductive strategies were influenced by social, political and economic aspects that determine individual reproductive decisions, such as treatment costs, legal regulations, choosing third party genetic material and the existing support network. Female autonomy and financial independence are factors that contribute to the choice to be a single mother. These women must navigate the prevailing social norms and values (which are culturally standardised) to overcome normative elements and modify social norms.
