Attitudes towards Disclosure of Children’s Genetic Origins among Japanese Patients Using Assisted Reproductive Technology
نویسنده
چکیده
Assisted reproductive technology (ART), such as donor-assisted insemination (DI) relying on anonymous sperm donors, has been available since the 1940s, and it is assumed that tens of thousands of children throughout the world have been born through these procedures. Although anonymous DI has been occurring in Japan since the late 1940s, the use of egg donation has been a more recent development, beginning in 1983. Recent demographic changes such as later marriage and delayed childbearing are contributing to increased demand for donor eggs from abroad. However, no overall regulations regarding reproductive donation, such as sperm and ovum donation have existed in Japan until now.
