> Public Perceptions of Gamete Donation in British South Asian Communities
>
>
>
> This study, funded by the ESRC Science in Society Programme, looked at
> attitudes to using donated sperm and eggs in fertility treatment. The
> team led by Dr Lorraine Culley, from De Montfort University Leicester,
> carried out focus group discussions with 100 women and men from Indian,
> Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities in three English cities. The
> research highlights culturally and religiously specific ways in which
> members of South Asian communities perceive the use of donated gametes
> in treating infertility and suggests a number of reasons for the
> shortage of egg and sperm donors. The research also explores some
> important gender differences perceptions of fertility treatments and
> discusses a range of additional issues likely to be of interest to
> practitioners and academics working in the field. The report includes a
> strategy to enhance the public profile of gamete donation in South Asian
> communities, developed in collaboration with the National Gamete
> Donation Trust. An electronic copy of the report can be obtained from
> the project Research Fellow Nicky Hudson:[log in to unmask] A summary
