This essay provides a rationale for a regulated market for human oocytes. Although the commodification of human oocytes raises important moral concerns, these concerns do not justify laws banning commerce in human eggs. Given the burgeoning ART industry and the growing oocyte market, the most prudent course of action is to develop regulations for the human oocyte market that are designed to protect and promote important social values, such as health, safety, liberty, and respect for human life. Other responses, such as banning the sale of eggs altogether or allowing donors to be compensated only for their services, would either create a black market or would lead to corruption and abuse. Society still needs to debate specific rules and policies that should govern the human egg market, but further discussion of that important task is best left to legislative bodies and other commentators.
本文为人类卵母细胞的规范市场提供了理论依据。尽管人类卵母细胞的商品化引发了重要的道德问题，但这些问题并不能成为禁止人类卵子交易的法律依据。鉴于蓬勃发展的辅助生殖技术产业和不断增长的卵母细胞市场，最谨慎的做法是制定针对人类卵母细胞市场的法规，旨在保护和促进诸如健康、安全、自由以及尊重人类生命等重要的社会价值观。其他应对措施，如完全禁止卵子销售或仅允许捐赠者因服务而获得补偿，要么会催生黑市，要么会导致腐败和滥用。社会仍需就规范人类卵子市场的具体规则和政策展开辩论，但关于这项重要任务的进一步讨论最好留给立法机构和其他评论员。
