Abstract

Artificial reproductive technology (ART) is improving constantly. Many couples have diffi culty conceiving. This, in turn, has prompted medical professionals and patients to resort to alternative that have proven to be the most effective in solving the problem. However, effectiveness in terms of results is not always accompanied by respect for the dignity of the persons involved. In this article, the authors propose bioethical criteria to be considered when selecting an ART method, based on an anthropological analysis of human love, sexuality and procreation. If technology is truly at the service of human beings, person, it should be able to cure infertility without jeopardizing human dignity.
