Gamete donation in Europe is not regulated by a common legal framework. Different laws regarding donor anonymity and remuneration exist in different countries. In France, gamete donation is characterized by a stable legal framework - the existing system of anonymous and non-remunerated donation remained unchanged following a period of public and parliamentary debate in 2011 - but little evidence is available concerning recipients' views and experiences of gamete donation. This article describes findings from a questionnaire completed individually by 714 heterosexual couple members undergoing a donor conception procedure at one of 20 national fertility centres in France. Participants were invited to report their attitudes towards the French legal framework, their perceptions of the anonymous donor, and their intentions to disclose donor conception to their child and to other people. The majority of respondents (93%) approved of the current legal framework. Participants indicated that they thought about the sperm donor in ways that emphasized his act of donation without describing him as a specific individual. A majority (71%) also stated that they intended to tell their child about their donor conception. Given that this is the largest nationwide study of French recipients of donor sperm, the findings make an important contribution to the research evidence currently available about prospective parents' perspectives in the increasingly uncommon context of donor anonymity in Europe.
在欧洲，配子捐赠不受统一法律框架的规范。不同国家对于捐赠者匿名和报酬有着不同的法律规定。在法国，配子捐赠具有稳定的法律框架——在经历了2011年公众和议会辩论阶段后，现有的匿名且无报酬的捐赠体系保持不变——但关于受赠者对配子捐赠的看法和经历，几乎没有相关证据。本文描述了一项问卷调查的结果，该问卷由在法国20家国家生育中心之一接受供体受孕程序的714对异性恋伴侣成员单独填写。参与者被邀请报告他们对法国法律框架的态度、对匿名捐赠者的看法，以及他们向孩子和其他人透露供体受孕情况的意愿。大多数受访者（93%）赞成现行法律框架。参与者表示，他们对精子捐赠者的思考方式强调了其捐赠行为，而没有将他描述为一个具体的个人。大多数人（71%）还表示，他们打算告诉孩子关于供体受孕的事情。鉴于这是法国最大规模的全国性供体精子受赠者研究，这些发现为目前现有的关于准父母在欧洲日益罕见的捐赠者匿名背景下观点的研究证据做出了重要贡献。
