The application of assisted human reproduction techniques after the death of one of the genitors is a reality that has gained relevance and support among judges and doctrinaires, although it still finds a wide social rejection, mainly in the face of serious moral, ethical and religious conflicts. Several countries in the region have discussed adapting their laws to the growth of casuistry. In the study, a comparative analysis of the legal, ethical and medical sphere of ibero-American countries is carried out through an integrative review. 21 primary studies were obtained addressing the regulatory situation in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Spain, Peru, Portugal and Uruguay. From these countries, only Uruguay and Spain have permissive regulation for post-mortem reproduction. The first, expressly and the last implicitly. Portugal's legislation is prohibitive for most techniques, with the exception of the posthumous transfer of embryos. Argentina, Colombia and Peru are not regulated. Brazil is in a special situation, as, there is no specific regulation, the binding nature of some regulations is discussed. Finally, the role of legal medicine has been discussed in the face of new bioethical and biolegal challenges, in practical and theoretical terms, posing participation in the debate that precedes any possible authorization.

In spite of the geographical distance, the Colombian immigrants associations in Spain have had a growing incidence upon the local topics of their country of origin; their actions have acquired a progressive transnational dimension. Amongst other practices, these associations have implemented numerous development projects in Colombia implying the vertical and horizontal mobilization networks in both, the country of origin and the country of destination. In parallel, the Colombian and Spanish states have shown a renewed interest in supporting these actions. In this article we ask ourselves how is that these dynamics, raised by migration, could contributed to the construction of a new transnational social space between both countries.
