To compare attitudes towards gamete donation between IVF doctors in the Nordic countries, and to determine whether attitudes are in correspondence with national legislation.
A study-specific questionnaire was used to study attitudes of 108 IVF doctors (92% response). Participants constituted 78% of all IVF doctors in Sweden, Denmark and Norway and 15% of IVF doctors in Finland.
Despite similar legislation regarding offspring right to learn his/her donor's identity, IVF doctors from Norway reported significantly more negative attitudes towards disclosure than did Swedish physicians. A majority from all countries demonstrated positive attitudes towards embryo donation and allowing sperm donation for lesbian couples. Physicians reported strong support for anonymous donation but less support for 'known' donation.
There are discrepancies between IVF doctors' attitudes towards gamete donation and national legislation in four Nordic countries. Negative attitudes towards disclosure to offspring may counteract legislative intentions.
比较北欧国家体外受精(IVF)医生对配子捐赠的态度,并确定这些态度是否与国家立法相符。
使用一份针对该研究的问卷来研究108名IVF医生的态度(回复率92%)。参与者占瑞典、丹麦和挪威所有IVF医生的78%,以及芬兰IVF医生的15%。
尽管关于后代了解其捐赠者身份的权利有类似立法,但挪威的IVF医生对披露信息的负面态度明显多于瑞典医生。所有国家的大多数医生对胚胎捐赠和允许向女同性恋夫妇提供精子捐赠持积极态度。医生们表示强烈支持匿名捐赠,但对“已知”捐赠的支持较少。
北欧四个国家的IVF医生对配子捐赠的态度与国家立法之间存在差异。对向后代披露信息的负面态度可能会抵消立法意图。
