ALVAREZ DIAZ, Jorge Alberto. Embryo donation and kinship: A Latin American approach. Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2022, vol.84, n.4, pp.1047-1075.  Epub 23-Nov-2022. ISSN 2594-0651.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iis.01882503p.2022.4.60391.

A cross-sectional, observational, and descriptive study was carried out, applying an ad hoc instrument on embryo donation. 702 Latin American individuals who underwent at least one assisted human reproduction technique participated. Several statistically significant associations were found. One of them revealed the relationship between the feeling of parenthood and the positive result of the pregnancy test (rather than abdominal growth or childbirth), an important finding giving the paucity of research on meanings, representations, or symbolization around pregnancy tests. Some other values and beliefs related to traditional conceptions are revealed, such as the relevance of consanguinity for kinship.

Palabras llave : pregnancy test; gender; genetic linkage; gamete circulation; nature/nurture.
