Gamete donation: a question of anonymity.

Abstract:

:The key global issue surrounding gamete donation is not the well-rehearsed known vs. anonymous donation argument but rather one of providing patients with a flexible dual-track system (i.e., ability to know or not to know donor identity), complete with psychosocial support and education that enables them to make well-informed choices that benefits all stakeholders present and future.
