Abstract
The development of assisted reproductive technologies has raised a number of issues to be debated in an interdisciplinary manner. Formulated for the treatment of fertility problems in heterosexual couples, its development enabled the access of other subjects to the construction of filiation projects such as singles women and men, male and female homosexual couples and trans people. The expansion of reproductive technologies encourages discussions on ethical and legal aspects involved in topics such as affiliation, territory and reproductive autonomy. Based on the need to reflect on this context, we created the Latin Network of Researchers in Reproductive Biotechnologies in 2019, from a cooperation project supported by the Iberoamerican Union of Universities (UIU). Our objective is to reflect on the impact of reproductive technologies among its users as well as the offspring generated by them, identifying the main challenges posed.
