A perennial concern when using donated gametes in infertility treatment is the effect on the child and his/her family of the traditional anonymity of the donor, and of the secrecy of the procedure. As all involved, from potential parents to carers, wish to maximize the 'welfare of the child' born of gamete donation, conflicting attitudes, sometimes translated into diverging legislations in Europe, are analysed. In the face of the lack of evidence on the consequences of secrecy or openness, it is concluded that future parents are best placed to decide on this matter for the potential children.
在不育治疗中使用捐赠配子时，一个长期存在的问题是捐赠者传统的匿名性以及该程序的保密性对孩子及其家庭的影响。由于所有相关方，从准父母到护理人员，都希望使通过配子捐赠出生的孩子的“福利”最大化，因此分析了相互冲突的态度，这些态度有时在欧洲转化为不同的立法。鉴于缺乏关于保密或公开后果的证据，得出的结论是，未来的父母最有资格为潜在的孩子决定此事。
