A Portrait of Assisted Reproduction in MexicoInterest in Sterility

A Portrait of Assisted Reproduction in Mexico: Interest in Sterility [Interest in Sterility focuses on the efforts carried out by an all-male group of physicians working to create and consolidate the first Mexican association concerned with marital infertility. Analysing the content of the association’s journal (published between 1950 and 1970), it looks at how it justified martial infertility as a medical condition worth studying and treating, how it designated the heterosexual couple as the only acceptable patient, and how it delimited which were the acceptable therapeutic procedures. Overall, this chapter allows us to see the origins of the Mexican system of assisted reproduction from the perspective of those first interested in medically curing infertility (and not, as is usually the case, from the point of the first successful births).] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Interest in Sterility focuses on the efforts carried out by an all-male group of physicians working to create and consolidate the first Mexican association concerned with marital infertility. Analysing the content of the association’s journal (published between 1950 and 1970), it looks at how it justified martial infertility as a medical condition worth studying and treating, how it designated the heterosexual couple as the only acceptable patient, and how it delimited which were the acceptable therapeutic procedures. Overall, this chapter allows us to see the origins of the Mexican system of assisted reproduction from the perspective of those first interested in medically curing infertility (and not, as is usually the case, from the point of the first successful births).]
