A majority of nine of Biotechnology Council wants to open for egg donation in Norway. The majority has different reasons for the standpoint and puts different conditions to allow egg donation, writes advised in a press release.
There standpoint there is majority support for the egg donation is permitted under the following conditions:
• The donated eggs are overskuddsegg from IVF after such treatment is finished.
• The donated eggs are fertilized with the partner’s sperm so that there is a genetic link between the child and one parent.
An argument that was emphasized when the Council discussed the issue on Tuesday was that men and women should be treated equally. Today sperm donation is permitted but not egg donation.
The Council was split on the decision. A majority of nine members went into that egg donation should be allowed, while a minority of six wanted a ban.
The majority believe they can be open for egg donation if eggs are surplus from IVF. In addition, they require that the eggs must be fertilized with your partner’s sperm, so that there is a genetic link between the child and at least one parent.
Egg donation is currently prohibited in Norway, but are allowed in at least 22 European countries, including the other Nordic countries.
