親、そして家族をどう定義したらいいでしょうか？ 生物倫理学者のヴィーラ・プロブーストは、こうした問いについて、「伝統的ではない家族」という文脈で考えています。つまり、養子縁組や再婚、代理母や精子提供によってできた家族です。このトークで、彼女は親や子供たちがどのようにして自分たちの家族の物語を作り上げているかについて話します。

Little Simon, 2015 | Book
Many children’s books have been written specially to address the topic of donor conception with a young child. This book tells the true story of two male penguins at the Central Park Zoo who were a little different from the other penguins but had the same wish: to have their very own baby penguin. Thanks to a zookeeper who gave them an egg that would otherwise be abandoned, their wish came true. An interesting fact is that this heartwarming story has been banned from several libraries, showing just how difficult it is for people to accept that we are all different and that all families are made in their own special way.
Hirokazu Koreeda | 2014 | Watch
Like Father, Like Son is a 2013 Japanese film directed by Hirokazu Koreeda. It received several nominations and awards. The story is not about donor conception but about babies that were switched at birth and how their parents deal with that news after six years. The film touches upon topics as ‘nature-nurture’, the meaning of (not) having a genetic link with your child, the nature of parental love and many of the other questions that many people may ask in relation to donor conception. Topics, also, that all parents may be wondering about.

The website of our research team at Ghent University offers a list of publications on a broad range of topics related to donor conception. Apart from the topics addressed in the talk, questions are asked and answered about for instance the views receivers of donor gametes are about payment for donor sperm or donor eggs, the couple relationship of parents of which one parent is not genetically related to their child, the responsibilities of professionals (e.g. related to the directive or non-directive counselling of professionals), etc. Listed below are some of the papers related to the content of the talk.
