Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Fertility Landscape for LGBTQ+ Communities: Barriers and Considerations

Q: What do you think are the common arguments that the public gives that is preventing provision of fertility treatment to the LGBTQ plus community?

There is still a sense that LGBTQIA+ people are not natural parents, so they should be grateful for what they get, rather than feeling entitled to equal treatment.

40 Years of Egg Donation and Counting: What Have We Learned? What Happens Next?

Q: What are the panel's thoughts about matching ethnic, cultural, religious background and appearance among egg donors?

Matching is complex and often stems from a desire to avoid constant discussions about resemblance among donor-conceived children. It can create anxieties for families, as some prefer children who resemble them, while others feel mixed heritage is a positive.

10 Families and Counting: Time for Global Limits on Donor-Created (Half-) Siblings?

Q: What does it mean to have a limit on the number of families for a donor?

A limit on the number of families prevents the psychological harm potentially caused by a high number of half-siblings.

What Can the Fertility Sector Learn from the Infected Blood Scandal and Inquiry?

Q: Do you believe the legacy of the blood scandal has delayed progress in allowing those living with HIV or hepatitis from being able to access fertility clinic treatments?

Yes, because of precautionary measures taken to protect the blood supply, which has led to inequities in access to fertility treatments for those living with HIV or hepatitis.

What Can the Fertility Sector Learn from the Infected Blood Scandal and Inquiry?

Q: Is there any evidence that if you pay donors, they're more likely to lie?

There is strong evidence from blood donation that suggests paid donors may be less honest about risks to support their financial need, but no specific research is known for gamete donations.
