DA COSTA LEIVA, Miguel. THE PROBLEM OF ABORTION AND INFANTICIDE AS TREATED BY THE GREEK PHILOSOPHERS. rev.latinoam.bioet. [online]. 2011, vol.11, n.1, pp.90-101. ISSN 1657-4702.

Man has always worried about the process of conception in his own species, whether it be to favor it or to prevent it. In all cultures, from the most ancient up to the present ones, we find documented evidence on this matter. The process of conception and contraception was not always seen as having moral connotations. Different perspectives were used to evaluate the legality or illegality of these acts. This article will examine contraception in the cultures that preceded ours.

Keywords : Abortion; ethics; greeks; contraception.
