Reproductive donation is the most contentious area of assisted
reproduction. Even within Europe there are wide variations in what
is permitted in each country. This multi-disciplinary book takes a
fresh look at the practices of egg, sperm and embryo donation and
surrogacy, bringing together ethical analysis and empirical
research. New evidence is offered on aspects of assisted
reproduction and the families these create, including
non-traditional types. One of the key issues addressed is should
children be told of their donor origin? If they do learn the
identity of their donor, what kinds of relationships may be forged
between families, the donor and other donor sibling families?
Should donation involve a gift relationship? Is intra-familial
donation too close for comfort? How should we understand the
growing trend for 'reproductive tourism'? This lively and informed
discussion offers new insights into reproductive donation and the
resulting donor families.
The emergence of new empirical evidence and ethical debate about
families created by assisted reproduction has called into question
the current regulatory frameworks that govern reproductive donation
in many countries. In this multidisciplinary book, social
scientists, ethicists and lawyers offer fresh perspectives on the
current challenges facing the regulation of reproductive donation
and suggest possible ways forward. They address questions such as:
what might people want to know about the circumstances of their
conception? Should we limit the number of children donors can
produce? Is it wrong to pay donors or to reward them with cut-price
fertility treatments? Is overseas surrogacy exploitative of women
from poor communities? Combining the latest empirical research with
analysis of ethics, policy and legislation, the book focuses on the
regulation of gamete and embryo donation and surrogacy at a time
when more people are considering assisted reproduction and when new
techniques and policies are underway.
