Description
Summary:The Assisted Reproduction Techniques (ARTs) constitute innovations that in the social space account for the processes of reproductive governance, stressing definitions of reproduction, family, kinship, and person. In the Argentine case, these definitions for their access were primarily resolved in the legal and legislative scenarios. From the Argentine legislative debate, this article analyzes the arguments of positions in favor and conservative oppositions, when regulating the access of the population to the ARTs. Through a qualitative methodology, analysis of the content of documents, and shorthand versions of the legislative debate for the regulation of the ARTs (2012-2013) in the Argentine National Congress. This is carried out taking up the principal axes of discussion: the notions of sexuality, of family, reproduction as well as disputes about the status of the embryo product of these techniques.
