“…Indeed, among the few studies specifically addressing these types of rights (Costa et al, 2014;Jakobsson et al, 2013;Miller & Chamberlain, 2013), the focus is on the role of individual level factors such as gender and religion. Similarly, the small but growing literature that investigates attitudes toward the reproductive rights of gays and lesbians is based on single-country studies or datasets (with few exceptions, such as Präg & Mills, 2015). This literature shows, for example, that citizens are generally more accepting of adoption by lesbian couples than by gay male couples (Herek, 2002) or that religion is an important driver of attitudes toward homosexual adoption (Whitehead & Perry, 2014) and gay and lesbian parenting (Costa et al, 2014).…”

“…Double donation sometimes occurs with the intended parent or parents commissioning the IVF treatment using either donated sperm, or donated eggs, and then donating some of the resultant embryos on to a further recipient. Embryos also can be created from donor gametes for the express purpose of embryo donation, although the extent of this practice varies and it appears to be relatively uncommon in Europe (Prag and Mills 2017).…”

Receiving, or ‘Adopting’, Donated Embryos to Have Children: Parents Narrate and Draw Kinship Boundaries

Existing research suggests that embryo donation (ED) may be seen as similar to adoption by those who donate or receive embryos, or it may not. Our qualitative study explored whether having a child via embryo donation initiated kinship connections between embryo donor and recipient families as interpreted by recipient parents. Interviews were conducted with five parents from four families whose child(ren) had been born via embryo donation. All four families had an open-contact relationship set up with the couples who donated their embryos through an agency in the USA. Narrative thematic analysis of interview data and visual family map drawings were used to explore kinship conceptualizations. We conclude that the dilemma experienced by parents who have a child via embryo donation is to decide how to reconcile their child’s different genetic heritage, when gestation and upbringing both clearly boundary family membership solely within the recipient family. While some families were still struggling with this dilemma, one solution embarked upon by some parents when drawing their family map was to expand family membership, not only on the basis of genetics, but also via an appreciation of shared family and community values too.

“…Dabei wird bisher bevorzugt die gegengeschlechtliche Paarperspektive beleuchtet (siehe u.a.Passet-Wittig 2017). Gleichgeschlechtliche Paare bilden in der Behandlungspraxis in Deutschland die Ausnahme und verlagern ihre reproduktionsmedizinische Therapie eher ins Ausland (Dethloff 2016;Müller-Götzmann 2009;Thorn 2010), was reproduktionsmedizinische Behandlungen damit zu einem grenzüberschreitenden Phänomen macht (Präg/Mills 2017).…”

Trotz medialer Dauerpräsenz des Themas „Reproduktionsmedizin“ ist die Faktenlage für Deutschland noch defizitär. Der vorliegende Beitrag konzentriert sich daher auf die Analysepotentiale sozialwissenschaftlicher Datensätze hinsichtlich der Verbreitung von Wissen zu und der Nutzung von Reproduktionsmedizin in Deutschland. Zusätzlich werden Hintergrundinformationen zu gesellschaftlicher Akzeptanz und reproduktionsmedizinischer Infrastruktur in Deutschland präsentiert. Ergänzend dazu wird auf die rechtlichen und finanziellen Rahmenbedingungen reproduktionsmedizinischer Behandlungen in Deutschland eingegangen. Als Ergebnis der Potentialanalyse lässt sich festhalten, dass nur wenige sozialwissenschaftliche Studien explizit Fragen zur Nutzung von Reproduktionsmedizin beinhalten. Fragen zum Wissen über Reproduktionsmedizin sowie Einstellungsfragen zur potentiellen Nutzung sind deutlich weiter verbreitet. Als ursächlich für die Defizite im Wissen über die Nutzung von Reproduktionsmedizin in Deutschland zeigen sich die Hürden in der Datenerhebung, die mit dem sensiblen Forschungsfeld einhergehen.
