Abstract
Enucleated egg donation is increasingly used for mitochondrial replacement therapy and in assisted conception to improve the success rate for women with recurrent IVF failure. With the possibility of a future increase in demand for enucleated egg donation, it is important to understand the attitudes of the general public and egg donors towards it. This Viewpoint elaborates on the general public's and donors’ perspectives on important aspects of enucleated egg donation that need to be explored, and points towards the areas that need to be researched in the future.
期刊介绍:
Reproductive BioMedicine Online covers the formation, growth and differentiation of the human embryo. It is intended to bring to public attention new research on biological and clinical research on human reproduction and the human embryo including relevant studies on animals. It is published by a group of scientists and clinicians working in these fields of study. Its audience comprises researchers, clinicians, practitioners, academics and patients.
Context:
The period of human embryonic growth covered is between the formation of the primordial germ cells in the fetus until mid-pregnancy. High quality research on lower animals is included if it helps to clarify the human situation. Studies progressing to birth and later are published if they have a direct bearing on events in the earlier stages of pregnancy.
