Här är allt på engelska (ESB har inte denna worldwide quota som jag förstått - därav skillnaden). Antalet graviditeter och pregnancyslots bortser alltså från syskon inom samma familj.
Denna info är ju högst väsentlig detta eftersom många reser över gränserna till Finland o Danmark för behandlingar.
Det känns som om all info i detta är lite OT men om man tänker sig öppen donator (som trådstartaren frågade om) så blir det ju svårare för barnet att få en vettig relation till donatorn om det är flera 100 barn redan i kön då det är dags för den kontakt som barnet har möjlighet att få...
It is Cryos International's policy to follow any national limitation or national quotas*.
Pregnancy quotas are made in order to limit the risk of inbreeding. However, due to strict regulation in many countries low supply of donor semen is a consequence, which lead many patients to cross boarders (see "fertility tourism" under Ethical questions below) in order to receive treatment. In order to track these patients and pregnancies Cryos operate with a wordwide quota system**
Clinics who have a password to our website can always check in Pregnancy Quota if a donor has reached the national or the worldwide quota. Private patienst must ask Cryos before they order. In due time we are planning to make this check automaticly, when ordering online.
*) The "national quota" is the maximum number of pregnancies per donor based on any kind of regulation in the form of laws, circular letters, or collective agreements from organizations in the country in question (if such limitations are known to Cryos). Siblings and abortions are not included.
**) "Cryos' ?worldwide quota" is a general limit of 1 pregnancy per 200,000 citizens in the patient's country. Siblings and abortions are not included. This quota only takes into consideration the nationality of the patient not the country in which the patient is treated.
Example:
If a Finnish woman is treated in Finland, her pregnancy will count in the national quota which is 5 pregnancies (abortions and siblings not included) per donor. Her pregnancy will also count in the worldwide quota. If she is treated in the UK her pregnancy will neither have an influence on the Finnish nor the UK national quotas. However, it will influence the worldwide quota (1 pregnancy per 200,000 citizens in the patient?s country) which in this case is 26 pregnancies (Finnish citizens 5,223,442 : 200,000 = 26 pregnancies).
