Resumen:
El artículo analiza los repertorios decisorios de 25 mujeres infértiles distribuidas en dos grupos, electoras y no electoras de tratamientos reproductivos, en relación con la posibilidad de recurrir a la medicina reproductiva como respuesta a la infertilidad involuntaria. Las entrevistas fueron realizadas entre los años 2005 y 2007 en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires y el conurbano bonaerense. Dada la escasez de investigaciones similares en Argentina, se adoptó una estrategia metodológica cualitativa exploratoria. La primera sección del artículo explora las diferentes asociaciones de sentido manifestadas por las entrevistadas entre procreación y naturaleza. La segunda sección ofrece la descripción de una tipología que permite caracterizar distintas predisposiciones hacia la reproducción como evento “tecnológico”. La última parte del artículo discute la significación de estos análisis para el modelo naturaleza-cultura.

Abstract:
Procreation as a natural or a scientific event: decisions repertories about resorting to assisted reproduction in women of infertile couples living in Buenos Aires
The article analyses decision-making accounts of 25 infertile women (divided into two groups, users and not users of reproductive treatments), regarding the possibility of resorting to reproductive medicine as an answer to involuntary infertility. The interviews were held between 2005 and 2007 in the City and the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires. Given the lack of similar research in Argentina, the study was conducted under a qualitative and exploratory methodological approach. The first section of the article explores associations of meaning evidenced in the interviewees’ accounts concerning the relation between procreation and nature. The second section, offers a typology that allows the characterisation of different dispositions towards reproduction as a ‘technological’ event. The last part of the article discusses the significance of the previous analyses for the model nature-culture.
Keywords: assisted reproduction, technology, nature, culture, typology.
