In January the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) launched a three month consultation programme which is open to everybody to give their opinion about egg and sperm donation.
You may have read in the press that there is a current debate underway about various aspects of donation, but in particular whether donors should be paid for their donation and, if so, how much and for exactly what. We thought that you might well have an opinion one way or the other about this issue and would therefore like to make your thoughts known to those who are in the position to take your views into account.
The HFEA website can be found at http://www.hfea.gov.uk . If you click on the link “Donating sperm and eggs: have your say” it will take you through to the relevant section where you can find out more about what is currently under review. There are 4 main areas which they are asking about and to participate in the consultation, you need to complete the on-line questionnaire.
We believe that you are definitely the most appropriate people of all to answer these questions, as either donor or recipient you are the ones most affected by the donation process. We would like to encourage you to put your view forwards so that those who make the rules base them on relevant information.
