Description

Meeting the demand for donor eggs: Ethical, social and regulatory issues. This project aims to address the significant shortfall of donor eggs needed for assisted reproduction. It expects to generate new insight into the ethical, social, and regulatory issues hampering egg donation in Australia. Expected outcomes include ethical and regulatory guidance, underpinned by comprehensive social research, on the procurement, management, and use of donor eggs to optimise the practice of egg donation. The project is expected to have major benefits, addressing the gap between the demand for and supply of donor eggs needed to service the needs of patients into the future and maintaining Australia’s position as a global leader in assisted reproduction.. Scheme: Early Career Industry Fellowships. Field: 5001 - Applied Ethics. Lead: Dr Molly Johnston
