Research on The Legal Path of Female Egg Donation in China under The Background of Low Fertility Rate

Abstract

With the fertility rate declining yearly in China, egg donation has become a meaningful way to solve people's infertility and improve fertility. However, more laws and regulations on egg donation behavior norms and constraints must be more relevant. Promoting the legalization of egg donation in China and establishing a standardized national unified egg bank can help infertile parents reproduce through reproductive assistance technology and improve the national fertility level. Through literature review and summary, this paper found that there are ethical and moral risks, lack of reasonable supervision, and the egg donation platform has yet to be fully established in China. Therefore, it is necessary to establish and improve the relevant legal management system of egg banks and carry out more standardized and strict supervision and legal regulations on the specific procedures of egg donation, egg use, egg collection, and egg freezing. The public welfare of voluntary egg donation should be publicized more to reduce the possibility of commercial egg donation and egg freezing. Pay attention to the construction of egg banks, conduct data statistics, prevent the occurrence of inbreeding, protect the privacy of egg donors more comprehensively, and provide encouraging economic compensation to egg donors; Finally, the physical and mental health and safety of egg donors should be guaranteed to reduce the risk of egg donation.
