NaProTechnology‘s help in these processes. Med. ética [online]. 2023, vol.34, n.1, pp.194-241.  Epub 30-Jun-2023. ISSN 2594-2166.  https://doi.org/10.36105/mye.2023v34n1.05.

What to do when a married couple wants to have a child and the child is late in coming, or simply does not come? Naprotechnology, as a medical study of male and female fertility, offers a valid answer to face this situation of infertility/sterility.

We follow as a way the triangular method proposed by Elio Sgreccia: look at the scientific data to make an anthropological analysis and an ethical evaluation that guides the concrete action.

Naprotechnology, as a medical science, is a medical and scientific approach that seeks to solve male and female reproductive and gynecological disorders, identifying the main causes that affect true reproductive health. From this diagnosis, it seeks to correct the possible alterations and restore health and fertility. This way of dealing with infertility/sterility is illustrated with several clinical cases and the results obtained in Spain during the years 2015 to 2021.

Next, we carry out an anthropological analysis of the way of dealing with infertility, analyzing the subject who suffers from it: Who is the human being? What is his sexuality like? In what environment is procreation primarily carried out? On this basis, we outline an ethical judgment of this way of dealing with infertility/sterility problems.

Palavras-chave : naprotechnology; infertility; sterility; procreation.
