“…However, another study found that 83 percent of first-time donors rated financial compensation as important to their decision, in contrast with only 69.6 percent of women who donated more than once ( Kenney & McGowan, 2010). Women with children were significantly less likely to report monetary motives ( Patrick et al, 2001). Moreover, in a retrospective study of deidentified former donors, nearly 71 percent reported that they would not have donated if monetary compensation had not been provided ( Patrick et al, 2001).…”

“…Some women report financial incentive as the primary motivator when the payment is larger ( Kalfoglou & Gittelsohn, 2000;Klock et al, 2003;Lindheim, Chase, & Sauer, 2001;Patrick et al, 2001). However, Kenney and McGowan (2010) found no significant correlation between compensation and a woman's decision to donate.…”

Moreover, in a retrospective study of deidentified former donors, nearly 71 percent reported that they would not have donated if monetary compensation had not been provided ( Patrick et al, 2001). Finally, in countries where compensation is prohibited, there are far fewer egg donors, suggesting that financial compensation is a very large motivating factor.…”

“…Financial compensation has been found to be a larger motivating factor among college students, who may have limited financial means of support ( Kenney & McGowan, 2010;Patrick, Smith, Meyer, & Bashford, 2001). For example, 94.4 percent of students reported financial compensation as a significant factor in their decision to donate, as compared with only 56.8 percent who were not students ( Kenney & McGowan, 2010).…”

Exploring Motivations, Awareness of Side Effects, and Attitudes among Potential Egg Donors

This research study surveyed prospective egg donors at orientation to (a) understand women's motivations to donate eggs, (b) assess awareness and knowledge of egg donation prior to entry into the egg donation program, and (c) explore attitudes toward egg donation. Ninetytwo women completed the questionnaire at one fertility clinic located in the Midwest between August 2011 and August 2012. Descriptive and inferential statistics as well as textual analysis were used to analyze the data. Three themes emerged regarding participant motivations: (1) altruistic, (2) financial, and (3) desire to pass on genetic material. The majority of participants were unconcerned with potential physical and psychological side effects; however, differences emerged based on motherhood status and educational level. Although potential donors felt recipients should receive some information about the donor, they tended to value privacy regarding information giving to resultant offspring. This research study has implications for social work practice, policy, and future research. It is crucial that women receive adequate procedural and side effect information prior to engaging in egg donation.

“…Trata-se de um engano, porquanto Schover (1990), Söderström-Anttila (1995) e Partrick et al (2001) entre outros, revelam que as dadoras avaliam negativamente o facto de não saberem o resultado do processo mas apenas gostariam de ter conhecimento sobre o desfecho, referindo não ter pensamentos obsessivos ou preocupações sobre a existência de descendência.…”

A doação de ovócitos como técnica de Reprodução Medicamente Assistida (R.M.A.), teve o seu início em 1983 e a sua utilização rapidamente se generalizou a todo o mundo, dado permitir ultrapassar com sucesso, muitas das situações de infertilidade de factor feminino.Inicialmente o processo destinava-se a mulheres com falência ovárica antes dos 40 anos, situação que ocorre em 1 a 5% das mulheres. Atendendo às elevadas taxas de sucesso, esta indicação foi alargada a outros grupos: mulheres com ausência congénita de ovários (1:10,000); mulheres sujeitas a ablação dos ovários; mulheres com risco de transmissão de doenças genéticas, e nos últimos anos, em mulheres com idade reprodutiva avançada, com uma reserva ovárica reduzida ou já na menopausa (ASRM, 2002).O número de mulheres dispostas a doar ovó-citos é sempre insuficiente face ao número de casais a necessitar deles. Para lá de outros factores, como as atitudes pessoais ou o desconhecimento desta necessidade social, uma das principais razões é que, embora as técnicas para a recolha dos ovócitos tenham sofrido evolução, este método ainda implica um assinalável desconforto físico para a dadora.A doação de ovócitos é providenciada de diferentes formas. Um dos primeiros processos referenciados é o egg-sharing, no qual mulheres em tratamentos de infertilidade partilham os seus ovócitos com outras na mesma situação, a troco de um menor custo nos seus próprios tratamentos. Outra fonte é as dadoras recrutadas pelos casais dentro do seu círculo de família ou amigos. Neste processo, vulgarmente denominado "anonimato personalizado" (Raoul-Duval, Letur-Konirsch, & Frydman, 1992), ocorre uma troca de dadoras, ou seja, o casal referencia alguém cujos ovócitos são doados anonimamente a outro casal, recebendo em troca ovócitos de uma dadora que desconhece (Frydman et al., 1990).Uma situação menos comum é a doação directa de ovócitos de uma mulher conhecida, naquilo que é comummente referido como doação conhecida. Este processo é usualmente muito valorizado pelos casais, mas levanta contudo algumas objecções, invocando-se possíveis consequências para o futuro relacionamento familiar nesta forma de doação.Inicialmente o procedimento de recolha de ovó-citos era realizado por laparoscopia 1 , e por isso, a 269Análise Psicológica (2005), 3 (XXIII): 269-276

Egg donation is used in 7% of in vitro fertilisation cycles worldwide and increases annually (de Mouzon et al., 2020). It can be used to overcome a range of fertility issues, including age-related fertility decline or to avoid inheritance of X-linked conditions (i.e., genetic conditions that are located on the X-chromosome). There is no global consensus about whether egg donation should be permitted, and if it is, how and whether it should be regulated. In the UK, egg donation, along with other forms of fertility treatment, is regulated by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), a body that ensures licensed fertility clinics adhere to the legal framework for assisted conception set out in the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act (2008).As part of this regulatory framework, clinics are required to give donors specific information and to offer them (and their partner if they have one) formal counselling before they provide consent. However, there is no legal requirement in the UK for egg donors to take up the offer of counselling, though clinics can (and some do) make this mandatory.Professional guidelines for counsellors in the UK (BICA, 2019) suggest that counselling should ensure individuals reach an informed
