- Abstract
This article contributes to the analysis of the relationship between reproductive technologies and religions. This allows a debate on the meanings of reproduction, sexuality, the family and the cultural significances about human life. We will work on three levels: regulations and legal discourses, religious experts and religious users of reproductive technologies. As methods, biographical interviews with users and documentary analysis of legislation, resolutions and judicial decisions and literature and courses on fertility in religious spaces are used. With the extension of the use of the reproductive technologies in Argentina, the Catholic religious experts propose an alternative that adapts to theological doctrine. However, women who consider themselves Catholic, decide to use the technologies by adapting the doctrine to their own convictions. This occurs within the framework of a process of individuation and autonomy and a minor influence of religious institutions in the private life of people, as indicated by the main social studies on religion.
