ANGELO, Melina Lólia de; MORETTO, Maria Lívia Tourinho  e  LUCIA, Mara Cristina Souza de. Science children: assisted reproductive motherhood. Mental [online]. 2009, vol.7, n.12, pp. 39-51. ISSN 1679-4427.

This article proposes to analyze the conceptual difference between being a mother, according to Biology and Psychoanalysis. The clinical experience with infertile women, at the ICHC-FMUSP-Assisted Reproduction Center indicates that the demand for pregnancy may not necessarily correspond to that of being a mother. It leads to the conclusion that being a mother is to fill a psychic place, despite the fact that pregnancy might be crucial for the construction of the nurturing function; that the impossibility of being a mother may be related to the difficulty of having children; and that attention to unconscious elements decreases the risk of producing Science children.

Palavras-chave : Reproductive technology; Motherhood; Psychology; Phychoanalyze; Infertility.
