Abstract
Las técnicas de reproducción humana asistida (TRHA) surgen en los años 70 para solucionar problemas de esterilidad. Los avances en este campo abrieron múltiples opciones para parejas heterosexuales con problemas de fertilidad y para otros grupos que vieron cubrir sus expectativas para acceder a la maternidad/paternidad en cualquier momento de su ciclo vital y/u obviando el coito reproductivo. El acceso de nuevos grupos (parejas homosexuales, mujeres y hombres sin pareja, acceso tardío a la maternidad), ha provocado un aumento de la necesidad de gametos de donantes. Esta propuesta presenta una investigación llevada a cabo en clínicas de reproducción asistida de la Comunidad de Madrid (España). Se mostrará cómo se ejerce un control sobre los y las donantes quedando sus cuerpos disociados como meros reproductores al servicio de las necesidades y deseos de maternidad y/o paternidad de otros. Se pondrá de manifiesto las consecuencias para el donante de semen y la donante de óvulos relacionadas con la modificación de sus hábitos sexuales y las repercusiones en la salud reproductiva en el caso de las donantes
Human-assisted reproductive technology (HART) appeared in the 1970s to help resolve sterility problems. Advances in this field opened up multiple options both for heterosexual couples with fertility problems and for other groups who saw the opportunity to access maternity/paternity at any point in their lifestage and/or without the need for reproductive coitus. The access of new groups (homosexual couples, men and women without partners, late access to maternity...) has led to an increased need for gamete donors. This paper presents research conducted in assisted reproduction clinics in the Autonomous Region of Madrid in Spain. The research shows the control process exercised with male and female donors, whose bodies are dissociated in order to act as mere reproducers who meet the maternity and/or paternity needs and wishes of others. We will refer both to the consequences for egg and semen donors in terms of the modification of sexual habits, and to the repercussions for the reproductive health of egg donors.
