Ethic and psychosocial problems of donor program in artificial reproduction
DVOŘÁKOVÁ, Alena
My degree work focused on the problem of involuntary childlessness, which is a situation that a number of couples are facing nowadays and this issue has been growing. The work specifically deals with the donor programme in assisted reproduction. I described the method of treatment with the use of donor gametes and ethical and legislative issues related to it. The empiric part of the work is divided into two research projects each of which corresponds with one objective of the work. The first one monitors the situation when receiving couples are making a decision whether to join the assisted reproduction programme with donor gametes and the mental and social consequences of this situation. This research part is based on partly structured and non-structured interviews with 10 couples and on observations. The data was transcribed and subsequently qualitatively analysed. The second research comprises data obtained from non-structured interviews with female donors and from on-site observations. This part relates to the second objective of the degree work. In the discussion section of the work the interviews and observations are assessed and compared with literature on this topic. I focused mainly on the issue of anonymous donation, on motivation of oocyte donors and on subsequent comparison with receivers´ expectations. Based on the research I determined a hypothesis that donation of gametes is a difficult problem which our society should deal with in detail. This degree work could be used by people from centres of assisted reproduction. It can also be used as a study material by students of the Faculty of Health and Social Studies, especially those who attend the midwife course.
