Outline of Final Research Achievements

A total of 13 couples were interviewed: a couple who had a child by egg donation, a couple who planned to donate eggs, and three wives. Some of the couples who did not tell their children felt guilty because they had undergone treatment that was not permissible in Japan. The reason for not telling was that Japan is not an environment that accepts diverse families, and they were worried that their children would suffer when they learned the truth. Telling couples had no small amount of anxiety about how they would accept the truth that their child had been born by egg donation as he or she grew up. The couple was concerned about how to communicate that they did not have enough information about the donor and that the child could not meet with the donor even if they wanted to. To tell or not to tell, the couple had the same idea.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

学術的意義は、研究協力者の確保が極めて難しく当事者に関する調査研究の蓄積がほとんどない中、日本人夫婦のテリングに関する認識等を把握できたことは学術的意義がある。
社会的意義は、第三者が介在する不妊治療には様々な課題があるが、その一つに生まれてくる子どもの出自を知る権利がある。子どもにとってテリングの有無はアイデンティティにも影響するが夫婦にとって意思決定が必要となる、日本の社会や文化的背景の中で日本人夫婦はテリングについてどのように認識しているか等を調査できたことは、テリングのサポート方法だけでなく、卵子提供を選択した夫婦への支援を検討するうえで重要な基礎資料となる。
