| Resumo: |
In this paper I trace two divergent understandings of personhood that manifest through the technology of embryo cryopreservation in Ecuadorian IVF clinics. Those who wish to cryopreserve embryos participate in what I call “life ethics”, and following the edicts of the Catholic Church, view the embryo as sacred human life that should not be destroyed. Those who wish to dispose of embryos participate in what I call “kin ethics” and view the embryo as a member of a larger family. Within this model freezing leaves embryos open to the possibility of their future circulation out side the bounds of the natal family. These findings have implications for the debates about when life begins and also demonstrates that the Catholic Church is not the only force in determining ethical responses to new reproductive technologies in Ecuador.
