This study was designed to compare levels of satisfaction for ovum donors and gestational carriers/surrogates (GCS), investigate attitudes, and explore beliefs about the role genetics, gestation, and environment play in various characteristics.
An east coast IVF center and two California-based agencies recruited donor and GCS candidates.
Participants received mailed questionnaires that included sections on demographics, attitudes, and beliefs.
Both groups were highly satisfied with their participation. Donors were not willing to be GCS, and GCS were not willing to be donors. GCS thought about and disclosed their participation, felt children should be told about GCS, and desired future contact with the child(ren) more than did donors (p < 0.002). Donors did not indicate a preference about disclosure. Contact with recipients did not correlate with satisfaction.
Women who chose to donate eggs or to be GCS hold distinct and different beliefs about the role of gestation and genetics.
本研究旨在比较卵子捐赠者与妊娠载体/代孕者（GCS）的满意度水平，调查其态度，并探讨关于遗传、妊娠和环境在各种特征中所起作用的信念。
一家东海岸体外受精中心和两家位于加利福尼亚的机构招募了捐赠者和GCS候选人。
参与者收到邮寄的问卷，其中包括人口统计学、态度和信念等部分。
两组对其参与都高度满意。捐赠者不愿意成为GCS，而GCS也不愿意成为捐赠者。GCS会思考并披露自己的参与情况，认为应该告知孩子关于GCS的事情，并且比捐赠者更希望未来与孩子保持联系（p<0.002）。捐赠者未表明对披露的偏好。与受助者的联系与满意度无关。
选择捐赠卵子或成为GCS的女性对妊娠和遗传的作用持有截然不同的信念。
