Donor Conception Network DCNetwork is a network of parents with children conceived with donated sperm eggs or embryos, adult offspring, and those contemplating or undergoing treatment. As many as one in seven couples may find it difficult to conceive a child. For some of these couples, particularly where the male partner is infertile or carries a genetic disorder, donor insemination may be their only hope of having children. Similarly where the female partner cannot produce eggs, donated eggs are used. There are approximately 2,200 children born each year in the UK to women who have conceived following treatment with donated gametes.,

Position Paper on Assisted Human Reproduction Position Paper on Assisted Human Reproduction: The Health and Social Implications for Women In considering the area of assisted human reproduction and the reproductive technologies now available, it is essential to take account of their health and social implications for women, and to recognise women’s needs and experiences. The debate in Ireland to date, as in other countries, has focused mainly on legal and ethical issues surrounding human embryos to the neglect of women, whose central role in the process has been largely ignored. This is a considerable oversight, given the fact that women are the ones who bear children, who give birth and who are still primarily responsible for rearing children. ,
