In recent years it has become possible to use eggs from one woman to bring about a pregnancy in another. This led to new definitions of who can be considered the mother of a child. Despite much speculation about the problems that may ensue from this situation, it is not at all clear that the women who have made the active decision to involve themselves in egg donation or gestational surrogacy will share these concerns. This paper reports on the interpretive frameworks used by 13 women who experienced either egg donation or gestational surrogacy, to define their relationships to any children (actual or potential) conceived as a result of their actions.
近年来，使用一名女性的卵子使另一名女性怀孕已成为可能。这引发了对谁可被视为孩子母亲的新定义。尽管人们对这种情况可能引发的问题进行了诸多猜测，但尚不清楚那些主动决定参与卵子捐赠或代孕的女性是否也有这些担忧。本文报告了13名经历过卵子捐赠或代孕的女性所使用的解释框架，这些框架用于界定她们与因自身行为而孕育的任何孩子（实际的或潜在的）之间的关系。
