The wait goes on..

The Wait Goes On In 1982 questions were raised in the Dutch parliament about the new developments in artificial reproduction. In response, the Minister of Health decided to ask the Health Council for advice on the ethical, social and psychological aspects of artificial reproduction. The Health Council is an advisory board to the Minister of Health on the state of scientific developments within medicine and related disciplines. In 1983 the Health Council set up an advisory committee. While the committee was studying the different aspects of artificial reproduction, however, developments threatened to get out of hand: several hospitals began offering in vitro fertilization and plans were made to open private clinics. Therefore, in October 1984 the Health Council decided to issue an interim report, which dealt only with technical issues such as the planning and organization of in vitro fertilization ("And in the Netherlands, Guidelines for IVF," Hastings Center Report, August 1985, 6.) The Council's final report was not published until October 1986. Among their recommendations were the following: When donor semen (or ovum) is used, the resulting child is entitled to general information about the donor but not to information as to his or her identity. Lesbian couples and single women are entitled to the treatment (on medical indication) if they are able to provide for a regular "father figure" in the life of their child. Commercial surrogacy through agencies must be prohibited. But the Council proposed to accept a form of governmentally controlled noncommercial mediation of surrogacy and in those cases to quicken adoption procedures. Fertilization of human egg cells is allowed only with a view to establishing a pregnancy. Forming embryos exclusively for experimentation is considered ethically unacceptable. Experimentation with leftover embryos must be prohibited unless the issue at stake is immensely important for many people and there is no other way of gathering the knowledge. The following experiments are considered ethically unacceptable: genetic therapy on pre-embryos, cloning of embryos by cell-splicing, formation of chimeras and using animals as surrogates. (See also, "In The Netherlands, Tolerance and Debate," Hastings Center Report, Special Supplement June 1987, 15-16). The Dutch government did not respond to this report until September 1988 when it finally issued a statement on "Artificial Fertilization and Surrogacy." The statement deals with existing and future policy, legal aspects of artificial reproduction and surrogacy according to Dutch law, and the point of view of the government toward several aspects of artificial reproduction. …
