Record 3 2008-10-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Reproduction (Medicine)
CONT

Recently, [a] magazine published a six-page article [in which] the journalist states that with the exception of a few instances, "approximately 14,000 Canadians born by donor insemination in the past two decades are locked in a system that protects the donor anonymity."

French

Domaine(s)
  • Reproduction (Médecine)
OBS

S'agissant des donneurs de sperme et des donneuses d'ovules, on retiendra le masculin pluriel par souci de concision. Si l'on parle d'une seule personne, on précisera «anonymat du donneur», «anonymat de la donneuse».

Key term(s)
  • anonymat du donneur
  • anonymat de la donneuse

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Reproducción (Medicina)
CONT

La institucionalización de la donación de gametos se realiza bajo la forma de un contrato gratuito, formal y secreto, concertado entre el donante y el Centro autorizado. Se garantiza el anonimato del donante que deberá tener como mínimo 18 años de edad y no padecer enfermedades genéticas, hereditarias o infecciosas transmisibles.

CONT

La idea de romper el anonimato de los donadores tiene como objetivo rastrear el historial genético de las personas concebidas con esperma donado y garantizar el derecho de todo individuo a conocer su ascendencia filial.

OBS

Ha de señalarse, en primer término, que el anonimato de los donantes que la Ley trata de preservar no supone una absoluta imposibilidad de determinar su identidad, pues el mismo precepto dispone que, de manera excepcional, en circunstancias extraordinarias que comporten un comprobado peligro para la vida del hijo, o cuando proceda con arreglo a las leyes procesales penales, podrá revelarse la identidad del donante.

Record 11 1991-05-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Social Services and Social Work
CONT

In some instances, shame or fear about one's situation becoming known can be a prohibiting factor to women seeking help, and for women from middle and upper income groups, this may be an even greater social barrier. Lack of anonymity certainly can be a dynamic in the lives of many women, rural and urban, however, it has been pointed out here to indicate that for rural women it may be a somewhat more exaggerated pressure.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Services sociaux et travail social
CONT

Selon Hassinger (1982), lorsque comparées aux populations urbaines, les populations rurales dépendraient davantage des groupes primaires et des réseaux informels de référence (famille, clan) en matière de comportement sanitaire. Ce facteur ajoute au manque d'anonymat et limiterait sérieusement le recours aux services institutionnels.
