In the debate surrounding secrecy in donor insemination (DI), the semen donor is often cited as a person needing the protection of anonymity. Sweden's unique legislation, the 1985 Insemination Law which, among other things, gives mature DI offspring the right of access to donor identity, has attracted much comment. Prior to the legislation's enactment, there were fears that the law would result in a rapid and irreversible decline in DI as a treatment in Sweden. It was also predicted that it would be almost impossible to recruit donors under the legislation. This paper describes the provisions of the legislation and examines what its impact has been in terms of the reactions of the medical profession, DI treatment provision, and the availability and recruitment of donors.
在围绕供精人工授精(DI)保密问题的辩论中,精液捐献者常被视为需要匿名保护的人。瑞典独特的立法,即1985年的《人工授精法》,除其他规定外,赋予了成年DI后代获取捐献者身份信息的权利,这引发了诸多评论。在该立法颁布之前,有人担心这一法律会导致DI作为瑞典一种治疗手段迅速且不可逆转地减少。还有人预测,根据该立法几乎不可能招募到捐献者。本文介绍了该立法的条款,并考察了其在医学专业人士的反应、DI治疗服务的提供以及捐献者的可获得性和招募等方面所产生的影响。
