Abstract:
:The relationship between science, technology and capital, which are intrinsic to Reproductive Technologies (RT), makes them a possibility of reproductive choice and an alternative for lesbians who wish to have children. The article seeks to reflect on the projects formulated based on the statements of lesbian couples who had used or had plans to use RT. Interviews were conducted with eight couples of women with ages between 26 and 45, all self-declared Caucasians, who had completed higher education and were living in the Greater São Paulo region between 2010 and 2011. The results reveal the preference of the respondents for donor sperm originating from a sperm bank and also the importance placed on information on the family history of health of the donor. A noteworthy finding is the interest in importing from an American sperm bank, because of an alleged limited availability of samples in Brazil and the fact that they provide more information about the donors. Thus, while RT enable non-biological parenting, genetics is considered important thereby contributing to the medicalization of parenthood. :A relação entre ciência, tecnologia e capital, intrínseca às Tecnologias Reprodutivas (TR), torna estas uma possibilidade de escolha reprodutiva e uma alternativa para lésbicas que querem ter filhos. O artigo se propõe a refletir sobre os projetos formulados a partir dos depoimentos de casais de lésbicas que utilizaram ou que tinham planos de utilizar as TR. Foram entrevistados oito casais de mulheres com idade entre 26 e 45 anos, todas autodeclaradas brancas e com nível superior completo, residentes na Grande São Paulo/SP, entre 2010-2011. Os resultados revelam a preferência das entrevistadas pelo doador proveniente de banco de esperma e também a valorização da informação sobre o histórico familiar de saúde do doador. Destaca-se o interesse pela importação de sêmen de banco americano, em razão de uma alegada pouca disponibilidade de amostras no Brasil e por ele conter mais informações sobre os doadores. Assim, ao mesmo tempo que as TR possibilitam uma parentalidade não biológica, a genética é valorizada concorrendo para uma medicalização do parentesco.
