Ethical, social and regulatory implications of informal sperm donation
$777,889.00
This project aims to address ethical, social and regulatory issues in sperm donation for family formation in Australia to ensure that all people who need the assistance of a spem donor to become a parent can do so safely. This project expects to generate new knowledge to address the informal provision of sperm via the internet, while also improving the formal and regulated system of sperm donation. Expected outcomes include a more ethically robust and equitable system for accessing donor sperm for family formation achieved through cohesive, stakeholder informed recommendations. It is expected to have long-lasting benefits for poeple who donate sperm, people who need to access donor sperm and for people conceived through sperm donation.
