Re-name?

Embryo donation existed before one agency decided to call it "adoption" and it got attention from politicians and the media regarding the controversy over embryonic stem cell research. I believe that it would me most NPOV to move this article to be Embryo donation, with a section on the "adoption" movement, to put the entire matter into perspective. --Icarus ^(Hi!) 03:09, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stem Cell Research

It may be important to add something about donating Embryos to Stem Cell Research on this page. Or perhaps link a page about Embryos being donated to stem cell research to this page. (Joproch (talk)). —Preceding undated comment added 22:50, 23 March 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Laws/regulations on embryo donation around the world

It would be great to have a section on laws/regulation on embryo donation in various countries of the world. I'm trying to look up the laws of some European countries for a paper, I could add what I find here. Useful, because it's pretty hard info to find.

What do you think, add a section here under a title like 'Embryo donation regulations around the world' or on a separate page? Then subsections per continent?

So much to do, so little time. I'll jot down some notes here. Hdk (talk) 18:58, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Embryo donation regulation around the world

Europe

Denmark: Embryon donation is prohibited by law.^[1]

Finland: Donation of left over embryos is permitted by law. No fee may be paid to the donors, though their expenses may be reimbursed within reasonable limits.^[2] The child born out of the donation has the right to learn the identity of the donors upon reaching the age of 18.^[3]

Germany: Embryo donation is prohibited by law.^[4]

Iceland: Embryo donation is not permitted by law.^[5]

The Netherlands: Embryo donation is permitted by law, insofar as the embryos are left over from in vitro treatment of the donors. No fee may be paid, the law does not discuss the possibility of reimbursing expenses.^[6]

Norway: Embryo donation is prohibited by law.^[7]

Sweden: Embryo donation is prohibited by law.^[8]

United Kingdom: Embryo donation is permitted by law, and is not limited to embryos left over from infertility treatment. Payment of donors is prohibited, though ‘reasonable expenses’ for travel and loss of earnings may be reimbursed. Since 1 April 2005 embryo donors are, by law, identifiable. Donor-conceived offspring is entitled to obtain their donor’s name and last known address, upon reaching the age of 18. Donors who donated before this time are anonymous, unless they choose to remove anonymity.^[9]

Individual "programs"

In this edit I removed all "programs" in the Embryo_donation#Process section that was lacking a third party source, that is, all of them. WP:reliable sources apply here as well, otherwise it becomes a dump of self-advertisement. Mikael Häggström (talk) 18:21, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
