Anonymous gamete donation continues to be practised in most jurisdictions around the world, but this practice has come under increased scrutiny. Thus, several countries now mandate that donors be identifiable to their genetic offspring. Critics contend that anonymous gamete donation harms the interests of donor-conceived individuals and that protection of these interests calls for legal prohibition of anonymous donations. Among the vital interests that critics claim are thwarted by anonymous donation are an interest in having a strong family relationship, health interests, and an interest in forming a healthy identity. This article discusses each of these interests and examines what they could involve. The legislation in two countries is considered: Spain, which mandates anonymous gamete donation, and the UK, which prohibits such practice, to assess how these different legislations might or might not protect these vital interests.
在世界上大多数司法管辖区，匿名配子捐赠仍在实行，但这种做法受到了越来越多的审查。因此，现在有几个国家规定，捐赠者必须能够被其基因后代识别。批评者认为，匿名配子捐赠损害了通过捐赠配子受孕者的利益，而保护这些利益需要法律禁止匿名捐赠。批评者声称匿名捐赠会阻碍的重要利益包括建立紧密家庭关系的利益、健康利益以及形成健康身份认同的利益。本文将讨论这些利益中的每一项，并研究它们可能涉及的内容。文中考虑了两个国家的立法情况：西班牙规定实行匿名配子捐赠，而英国则禁止这种做法，以评估这些不同的立法如何可能或不可能保护这些重要利益。
