Abstract

MARTINEZ-SANCHEZ, Wilfrid; JARENO-RUIZ, Diana; DE-GRACIA-SORIANO, Pablo  and  NAVALON-MIRA, Alba. Affordability and quality of cross-border reproductive care from the perspective of surrogacy mediating agencies in Spain. Investig. desarro. [online]. 2021, vol.29, n.1, pp.155-177.  Epub Nov 07, 2021. ISSN 0121-3261.  https://doi.org/10.14482/indes.29.1.306.87.

Substitution pregnancy contributes to the transformation of social conceptions of filiation and changes in the reproductive strategies of families. This contribution relates the theory of cross-border reproductive care with post-modern theories of family life in order to explore which themes, elements and contents are used by intermediary surrogate pregnancy agencies which target Spanish mothers and fathers. The qualitative methodology and the technique of thematic content analysis after registration of the online information collected from the agencies is used. The results show the role of these intermediary agencies in the process of gestation by substitution in Spain, as well as generating knowledge in the area of new family forms constituted by assisted reproduction techniques.

Keywords : surrogate pregnancy; cross-border reproductive care; surrogate pregnancy agencies; new family forms; assisted reproduction techniques.
