Authors

New reproductive technology inevitably imposes considerable value-related, cultural and relational transformations of the concept of parenthood and more generally of the concept of family. The split between biological parenthood and social parenthood stimulates numerous reflections. The present article deals with the topic of gamete donation and the need to welcome the "intruder" that lays claim to and seizes a "citizenship", which is not only corporeal or attributable to the female world but is rather an issue that regards the couple as a whole.
