The present study explored how Romanian women perceive in-vitro fertilization (IVF), surrogacy, and adoption as alternative pathways to traditional parenthood. Previous studies suggested that both men and women generally prefer a full genetic link, followed by a partial genetic link and, finally, no genetic link (i.e. adoption). We explored these findings by testing a series of predictors in a sample of women aged 18–45-years. We found that adoption was the most preferred option among Romanian women, while surrogacy was the last. Older women, with children, rather non-religious, and in a steady relationship, had a more positive perception of IVF. Older women and less religious had a more positive perception of surrogacy as a pathway to parenthood. In hypothetical scenarios, the most preferred option was adoption, followed by IVF and surrogacy. Results are discussed within the Romanian context regarding various methods of ART.

道德女性，不道德的技术？罗马尼亚妇女对辅助生殖技术与收养的看法

本研究探讨了罗马尼亚妇女如何将体外受精（IVF），代孕和领养作为传统父母身份的替代途径。先前的研究表明，男人和女人通常都喜欢完整的遗传联系，其次是部分遗传联系，最后没有遗传联系（即收养）。我们通过对18-45岁女性样本中的一系列预测因子进行测试，探索了这些发现。我们发现，在罗马尼亚妇女中，领养是最可取的选择，而代孕是最后的选择。有子女的年龄较大的妇女，非宗教且关系稳定，对IVF的看法更为积极。老年妇女和宗教较少的人对代孕是通向父母的途径的看法更为积极。在假设的情况下，最可取的选择是采用，然后是试管婴儿和代孕。
