Multiple gestations have become an increasing phenomenon that has impacted public health globally, largely due to the application of assisted reproductive technologies. The objective of this work was to find out the discourse that the health professionals involved in its follow-up have in our context. For this, a qualitative methodology was chosen, with semi-structured interviews recorded in audio, prior authorisation, and transcribed verbatim. It was based on a script designed for this purpose, with the following analysis categories: the current trend of multiple gestations, impact, and follow-up. The content analysis was based on the experiences, knowledge, and perceptions of the professionals interviewed. Professionals stated that the current socioeconomic and legal context hinders a single embryo transfer policy that decreases multiple gestation rates. They emphasised the importance of the psychic impact of such gestations on the couple, on the mother in particular, as well as the economic effect on families, health, and society in general. They expressed the need to create specific protocols to assist these gestations. Midwives, in particular, demanded that the health administration recognise and support the differentiated care they perform with this type of gestation. Work on specific models is needed to adequately size the impact of multiple gestations, as well as to generate social health policies that lead to co-responsible reconciliation measures that favour women having one pregnancy at a time.

“…Spain has steadily established its leadership in the repro-market over the last decades as has scholarly interest on egg donation. However, the shortage of qualitative studies, and even more those of ethnographic nature, is still remarkable (Rivas, Plaza, and Jociles 2018). Nevertheless, some studies have marked important points of departure for the study of the Spanish reproductive bioeconomy.…”

Selecting women, taming bodies? Body ontologies in egg donation practices in Spain

According to the Spanish law of assisted reproduction, women intending to donate eggs must be "in good psychophysical health" and "do not suffer from genetic or infectious hereditary diseases transmissible to the offspring" (chapter II, article 5). What a "good" psychophysical health condition is, what the "transmissible diseases" are, and what counts as disease at all remains contested. In this paper, we explore how these broad legal criteria materialize through different tests and selection procedures. Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in Spanish fertility clinics and with egg donors in Spain, we argue that selection and management procedures are organized to split egg donors as "multiple bodies" (Mol 2002), which will have to be tamed in different ways. On the one hand, we will refer to the making of a "biographical subject," for which we understand the donor to be a conscious autonomous subject. And on the other hand, we refer to the "body object," for which we understand the donor to be a terrain of potential extractability. As we argue, clinics aim to select a responsible biographical subject who kindly obeys professionals' instructions throughout the process in order to make the body object accessible to clinics' extraction purposes. To conclude, our paper sheds light on issues of "reproductive in/ justice" by discussing how the reproductive rights of intended parents through egg donation are entangled with inequalities of egg donors.

“…Esta expansión se ha producido fundamentalmente por tres factores: la posibili-dad de retrasar el momento de la maternidad, las restricciones a la adopción nacional y/o internacional y el aumento de personas solteras y parejas homosexuales que desean acceder a tratamientos de fertilidad (Tober, Pavone 2018). Se trata de un fenómeno global creciente, y de él se deriva un conjunto de cuestiones éticas, jurídicas, políticas y sociales que atañen a los implicados, ya sean proveedores o receptores, y a los derechos de los niños concebidos (Gürtin, Inhorn 2011;Rivas, Álvarez, Jociles 2018). El término "proveedor" en lugar de "donante" se utiliza para cuestionar el lenguaje de la donación altruista, ya que muchos procesos relacionados con la captura de material genético implican algún nivel de pago o compensación.…”

Reproducción transnacional con terceros: el mercado reproductivo en Brasil

<p class="p1">La expansión de las tecnologías de reproducción asistida ha provocado un aumento en la movilidad de las personas y del material genético a escala mundial. El acceso a la fertilidad de terceros es característico de esta expansión. Este contexto incluye países con normativas y prácticas distintas que implican diferentes lógicas de movilidad de forma convergente, contradictoria e interdependiente. Es un mercado complejo, dependiente del trabajo reproductivo de las mujeres, sea remunerado o no. Para evaluar la situación del mercado de células sexuales en Brasil, se realizó un estudio con metodología cualitativa y análisis documental de los registros de importación de gametos. Se realizaron un total de 33 entrevistas semiestructuradas a profesionales de la salud reproductiva entre 2016-2018. Entre los principales resultados destacamos que la regulación médica adoptada en el país, la existencia de vacíos legales y la creciente demanda de gametos favorecieron el aumento de la importación de material genético procedente de bancos de semen en Estados Unidos y de bancos de óvulos en España. Los diferentes sistemas de regulación que operan en estos países fomentan el mercado de células sexuales al reforzar la lógica empresarial del poder de la oferta/demanda.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
