Significance for public healthContinual scientific progress is making new applications available, with significant medical, ethical, legal and social implications, not only for the persons directly concerned. In the area of medically assisted procreation, the use of heterologous techniques is able to overcome problems of sterility or infertility for those requesting access to methods of this kind. On the other hand, legislation is required to regulate the many correlated issues, also with regard to other parties such as ova or sperm donors and the offspring resulting from the use of these techniques: the protection of the health of the offspring; the management of laboratory results obtained during donor selection tests; the protection of confidentiality; the donor-child traceability; the number of donations; and individuals' rights to be fully informed about their biological origins are just some of the questions confirming that the implications of new procreation techniques are not restricted merely to the couples who access them.
对公共卫生的意义
持续的科学进步带来了新的应用，这些应用不仅对直接相关人员具有重大的医学、伦理、法律和社会影响。在医学辅助生殖领域，使用异源技术能够为那些寻求此类方法的人克服不育或不孕问题。另一方面，需要立法来规范许多相关问题，包括卵子或精子捐赠者等其他方以及使用这些技术所产生的后代的相关问题：后代健康的保护；捐赠者选择测试期间获得的实验室结果的管理；保密性的保护；捐赠者与孩子的可追溯性；捐赠数量；以及个人充分了解其生物学起源的权利，这些只是部分问题，证实了新的生殖技术的影响不仅限于使用这些技术的夫妇。
