In-vitro fertilization, Gamete Donation and surrogacy : perceptions of women attending an infertility clinic in Ibadan, Nigeria : original research article
African Journal of Reproductive Health, 2014Co-Authors: Fa Bello, Opeyemi Rebecca Akinajo, Oladapo OlayemiAbstract:Infertility affects 20% of couples in Nigeria. Assisted reproductive techniques (ART) offered in Nigeria include in-vitro fertilization (IVF), Gamete Donation and surrogacy. This cross-sectional questionnaire study aimed at assessing the acceptability of ART to women seeking infertility treatment at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria. Of the 307 respondents, 58.3% were aware of IVF and 59.3% would accept it as treatment; 35.2% would accept donor eggs and 24.7% would accept donor sperms - a smaller proportion anticipated acceptability by their husbands. Thirty five percent were aware of surrogacy, 37.8% would accept it as treatment; most preferring a stranger as a surrogate. Most felt surrogates should not be paid. Acceptance of ART was associated with older age, longer duration of infertility, previous failed treatment and women without other children. As chances of successful pregnancy are improved in younger individuals, counselling towards overcome barriers to accepting Gamete Donation and surrogacy should be instituted early.

Islam and Assisted Reproduction
The New Arab Man, 2012Co-Authors: Marcia C InhornAbstract:This chapter demonstrates how major divergences have occurred in the fatwas being issued by Sunni and Shia religious authorities regarding the permissibility of third-party reproductive assistance. In recent years, new fatwas emerging from the Shia world have condoned third-party Gamete Donation, whereas Gamete Donation continues to be banned across the Sunni Muslim countries. These divergent Sunni and Shia Islamic approaches toward Gamete Donation have affected the moral decision making of infertile Muslim couples in ways that are only beginning to be realized. The degree of consensus across the Sunni Muslim countries is quite striking, as are the ways in which these fatwas have guided the clinical practices of the Middle Eastern IVF community.

Making muslim babies: Ivf and Gamete Donation in sunni versus shi’a islam
Culture Medicine and Psychiatry, 2006Co-Authors: Marcia C InhornAbstract:Medical anthropological research on science, biotechnology, and religion has focused on the “local moral worlds” of men and women as they make difficult decisions regarding their health and the beginnings and endings of human life. This paper focuses on the local moral worlds of infertile Muslims as they attempt to make, in the religiously correct fashion, Muslim babies at in vitro fertilization (IVF) clinics in Egypt and Lebanon. As early as 1980, authoritative fatwas issued from Egypt’s famed Al-Azhar University suggested that IVF and similar technologies are permissible as long as they do not involve any form of third-party Donation (of sperm, eggs, embryos, or uteruses). Since the late 1990s, however, divergences in opinion over third-party Gamete Donation have occurred between Sunni and Shi’ite Muslims, with Iran’s leading ayatollah permitting Gamete Donation under certain conditions. This Iranian fatwa has had profound implications for the country of Lebanon, where a Shi’ite majority also seeks IVF services. Based on three periods of ethnographic research in Egyptian and Lebanese IVF clinics, this paper explores official and unofficial religious discourses surrounding the practice of IVF and third-party Donation in the Muslim world, as well as the gender implications of Gamete Donation for Muslim marriages.

“He Won't Be My Son”
Medical anthropology quarterly, 2006Co-Authors: Marcia C InhornAbstract:In the Sunni Muslim world, religious mandates prohibit both adoption and Gamete Donation as solutions to infertility, including in the aftermath of in vitro fertilization (IVF) failures. However, both of these options are now available in two Middle Eastern countries with significant Shi'ite Muslim populations (Iran and Lebanon). On the basis of fieldwork in multisectarian Lebanon, I examine in this article attitudes toward both adoption and Gamete Donation among childless Muslim men who are undertaking IVF with their wives. No matter the religious sect, most Muslim men in Lebanon continue to resist both adoption and Gamete Donation, arguing that such a child “won't be my son.” However, against all odds, some Muslim men are considering and undertaking these alternatives to family formation as ways to preserve their loving marriages, satisfy their fatherhood desires, and challenge religious dictates, which they view as out of step with new developments in science and technology. Thus, in this article I examine the complicated intersections of religion, technology, marriage, and parenthood in a part of the world that is both poorly understood and negatively stereotyped, particularly in the aftermath of September 11, 2001.

Changing criteria of access to Gamete Donation: the views of donors and recipients
European Journal of Public Health, 2019Co-Authors: Ines Baia, C De Freitas, Susana SilvaAbstract:Abstract Background Differences on the use of sexual orientation and marital status as criteria to define access to Gamete Donation persist in Europe, contributing to the search of cross border reproductive care (CBRC). The lack of international policy and norms on CBRC highlight the need for surveillance to ensure quality and equitable access to reproductive care, namely by assessing donors’ and recipients’ views. This study aims to analyze the opinion of donors and recipients about the use of marital status and sexual orientation as priority criteria for accessing Gamete Donation, and its associated factors. Methods Between July 2017 and June 2018, 72 donors and 171 recipients completed a self-report questionnaire at the Portuguese Public Bank of Gametes. Opinion about the use of marital status and sexual orientation as priority criteria was assessed through a 5-point Likert scale of agreement, ranging from “totally disagree” to “totally agree”. Descriptive statistics and multinomial logistic regression were used. Results Most participants disagreed with a priority of access to Gamete Donation for heterosexual couples (61%) and married women (60%). Participants who agreed with priority to heterosexual couples were more likely to be males (OR = 2.5, CI95% 1.2-5.3) and married or living with a partner (OR = 3.5, CI95% 1.1-10.8). Males (OR = 3.18, CI95% 1.5-6.9) and those with lower white collar (OR = 3.0, CI95% 1.2-7.4) or blue collar occupations (OR = 4.3, CI95% 1.4-13.1) were more likely to agree with priority for married women. Conclusions Donors and recipients agree with equitable access to Gamete Donation, independently of sexual orientation and marital status. However, a heterosexual marriage hierarchy is particularly observed on male, married/living with a partner, and with lower white or blue collar occupations participants. Policy on reproductive care needs to be especially mindful of equity in access to Gamete Donation. Key messages Donors and recipients agree with access to Gamete Donation independent of sexual orientation and marital status. Policy on reproductive care needs to be mindful of equity in access to Gamete Donation.

quality of websites for Gamete Donation
Revista Eletrônica de Comunicação Informação e Inovação em Saúde, 2019Co-Authors: Ines Baia, Catarina Samorinha, Claudia Freitas, Helena Machado, Isabel Sousa Pereira, Susana SilvaAbstract:This study aims to assess the quality of online health information about Gamete Donation based on a quantitative analysis of websites from fertility-clinics in Portugal. All websites providing information about Gamete Donation were comprehensively screened in June 2017. The reliability and usability of 43 webpages were assessed through the Website Information Evaluation Instrument from the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP). None of the webpages met the purpose, content development, and updating criteria set by the ODPHP. Several shortcomings were observed: limited accessibility for users with disabilities, lack of simplified user experiences and easy search functionality, and lack of users’ interaction with content. The quality of online information on Gamete Donation in fertility-clinics’ websites requires improvement to become user-friendly. The development of specific guidelines and periodic evaluations of these websites using sensitive instruments, merging quantitative and qualitative assessments, is required to guarantee the quality of information that aims to improve reproductive health literacy through people-centered communication.

Gamete Donation: (un)answered social and ethical issues in Portugal
2019Co-Authors: Sandra Pinto Da Silva, Ines Baia, Catarina Samorinha, Claudia Freitas, Helena Machado, Susana SilvaAbstract:Abstract: Awareness of the discussion surrounding the social and ethical challenges regarding Gamete Donation is crucial for good governance of assisted reproduction techniques. In this article, we analyze the topics that guided the debate in the Portuguese ethics organizations, discussing their connections with themes addressed internationally. To that end, in March 2018, we systematically searched the websites of the National Council of Medically Assisted Procreation and of the National Ethics Council for Life Sciences. We carried out a thematic content analysis of 25 documents. Results indicate that the debate was focused on accessibility, anonymity and donors’ compensation and, to a lesser extent, on professional responsibilities. We observed heterogeneous positions and tensions between multiple rights and ethical principles associated with recipients, donor-conceived individuals and donors. These invoke three similar arguments: the scarcity of scientific evidence; experiences from other countries; and regulations from in international entities. Literature addressed additional topics, namely: a double track that combines donor anonymity/identification; the implementation of reproduction registries for recipients and donors; limits to the genetic screening of donors; Donations by family members/acquaintances; and donors’ role in decisions regarding the fate of cryopreserved embryos and in choosing the characteristics of recipients of their Gametes. There is room to expand the debate and to promote research on the social and ethical implications of Gamete Donation, considering the participation of all citizens.
