[marron]Summary[/marron]

The case "Ingrid" or "Paternity or the right to not to know" as Mayana Zatz titles it offers us the possibility of interrogating the professional occupation respect of a situation that to simple sight seemed to refer to a medical intervention on a possible fault to remedying : the transmission of haemophilia from mother to son. Nevertheless, the question there raised what does happen when the doubt on the paternity -in this case, precisely, that the genetic examination reveals that the one who believed himself that he was the father is not such- reveals secrets that the family would like that they were remaining secret ?, it drives us to admit there a major complexity that that one that might be dissolved in the dilemmatic area. The point is to question there the problem of paternity, the place of the father for a subject, the symbolic filiation beyond the biological data of conception, that which makes family, which is transmitted besides the genes, which is inherited from the father and how this saying, these marks of lalengua makes body.
