Talk:Egg donation

message: I believe these two sections should be merged because they deal with similar topics. "The egg donor's process in detail" should also be merged and consolidated with the Procedure section, and possibly shortened to be more concise.
Additionally, the section on the "Sociological perspectives on the donor" is more opinionated than factual, and should be re-written to provide a more factual explanation, or removed altogether. The section also contains an incorrectly cited study that should have been referenced with a footnote:
"Women, love, altruism and the family are, as a group, [viewed as] radically separate and opposite from men, self-interested rationality, work and market exchange" (Nelson and England, 2002).

thread_title:  Consolidating "Why do people proceed with egg donation?" with "Donor motivation and compensation" 

message: There is a conflict of facts on this page:
* After retrieval, the ova are handed over to the recipient couple, fertilized by the sperm of the male partner in the laboratory, and after several days, the resulting embryo(s) is placed in the uterus of the recipient.
* The egg donor may suffer complications from IVF, such as bleeding from the oocyte recovery procedure, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, rarely, liver failure, as well as unintended pregnancy.

replies: text: Actually, what they mean is that not all eggs might be recovered during the surgery.  It's easy to see that an egg donor might suffer bleeding from the surgery or OHS from the ovulation-inducing drugs.  It's also easy to see that if they don't manage to remove absolutely every egg during the surgery, then the egg donor could get pregnant with one of the "leftover" eggs.

text: In the Muslim community, Sunnis are allowed fertility treatments that do not involve third parties. This rule does not allow for the donation of gametes. Shi’ite Muslims on the other hand are allowed to accept egg donations, although there are some details that prevent egg donation in some countries and regions.[58]

message: Does anyone object to moving this to egg donation? It's a broader term which includes the donor, the recepient and the child. Richard001 07:38, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

message: whats the legal age to donate your eggs? because I'v read said you have to be at least 18 or 21 and I cant find anything about the specific ages for states and I'v not sure what the age for my state is. also can minors have the procedure done with a parents permission or is there an age limit for heath reasons of the recipient?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Themountaingoats (talk • contribs) 15:15, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  egg donation age 

message: This section does not maintain or encourage a neutral point of view. If this section is going to be included, there should be another section about sociological perspectives on the receiver, not just the donor. The reasons for separate treatments that are said to be caused by biological differences between males and females are unfounded. The quote by Nelson and England reinforces the stereotype that women are “soft” and donate because they are more altruistic and group-oriented than men. Likewise, the quote bolsters the notion that men care primarily how their services benefit society. While reinforcing gender stereotypes, this section also reinforces the gender binary as any biological difference is socially constructed to fit the image of “man” and “woman.”  Including content from studies that suggest medical staff can be disgusted by certain patients does not further the mission of this page. This section also uses “cultural norms” as a base of discussion without ever mentioning what that might be or how this term is problematic for a discussion that relies on a strict gender binary. The American Sociological Review article should be used in this section, but it should be clearer as to how the article, which compares egg and sperm donation, relates specifically to women. Mentioning sperm donation in such a small section muddles the mission of the section.  AAH6671 (talk) 18:15, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Sociological Perspectives on the Donor

message: There is currently no mention of the problems with the citizenship and legal status of the children resulting from surrogacy arrangements. The Hague Conference Permanent Bureau identified the question of citizenship of these children as a "pressing problem" in the Permanent Bureau 2014 Study (Hague Conference Permanent
Bureau, 2014a: 84-94). http://www.hcch.net/index_en.php?act=text.display&tid=183  http://repub.eur.nl/pub/77402  According to U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs, for the child to be a U.S. citizen one or both of the child's genetic parents must be a U.S. citizen. In other words, the only way for the child to acquire U.S. citizenship automatically at birth is if they are biologically related to a U.S. citizen. Further, in some countries, the child will not be a citizen of the country in which they are born because the surrogate mother is not legally the parent of said child. This could result in a child being born without citizenship.  http://travel.state.gov/content/travel/english/legal-considerations/us-citizenship-laws-policies/assisted-reproductive-technology.html  Emma593 (talk) 22:17, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
