Reproductive healthcare services and policy should
reflect the specific, lifetime and shifting needs of the
populations it serves, including future generations
resulting from these innovations
(van den Akker, 2016, Reproductive Health Matters, The Psychologist,
29 (1) 2-5)
Individuals building families using third party
conception should accept difference rather than
shoehorn a non-traditional family into a pseudo-
traditional framework(Smolin, 2016, Surrogacy as the sale of children, Pepperdine Law
Review, 43,265-311)

A few facts about third party conception
• Is increasingly common
• Fulfils a population need•
• Late, solo, single-sex, infertile parents require AC
• Reflects behavioural and lifestyle changes
• Takes place in a socio-cultural context
•
• If not funded, health inequalities exist
• Commercialisation= inequality and commodification

‘Generation’ refers to producing offspring
It is a structural term designating kinship parent-child
(great, grand parent..) nuclear relationships:
it is familiar
In 3rd party AC (non-nuclear families), ‘unfamiliar’ is
introduced unsupported29/04/2016Slide 4
![Page 5: Third party reproduction and the non-nuclear family van den A… · • Genetic SM and IM had significantly less time getting to know each other than gestational SM or IM’s van](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050106/5f445b34aa4b986ef5146cb3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
This ‘unfamiliarity’ or ‘difference’
in new generations has led to:
1) Individual psychosocial issues:
2) Societal, policy and practice issues:
3) Global welfare issues:
Non-nuclear family planning:
choreographing, coordinating and contextualising

Preference for traditional – Familiar
• Families using third party
reproduction, emphasize
the importance of genetic
or biological kinship
1) Increase in gestational
surrogacy and
2) a preference in solo and
same sex families to have
at least some biological
link29/04/2016Slide 6

Surrogacy also offers psychological difference
Research on parent–child
relationships and the
child's psychosocial
development is
inconclusive
– but overprotectiveness,
less parenting self
efficacy etc. are reported.

• Although parental warmth and good attachment-
related behaviours towards commercial surrogate
born children are reported (Golombok et al, 2004; 2006)

Participants expressed deep sentiments
related to their own needs to trace genetic relatives
• ‘Curiosity’ doesn’t go anywhere near the HUNGER
(emphasis original) to find someone I was
connected to’.
• ‘To see whether we have anything in common’
sounds so casual. It is a case of looking for
CONNECTION (emphasis original). For me, that
was not anything in the zone of curiosity or idle
research; it was visceral’.
• ‘This is my only chance to find blood relatives’.• (van den Akker et al (2015) Human Reproduction)

As shown, the place of the biogenetic
relationship in non-nuclear families at the
individual level is complex, and how it is
‘choreographed’ in society & its laws is a key
theme bridging (or not) policy & practice

• Vietnam / India: culture
bound beliefs that a birth
mother is the ‘real’ mother of
the child (Hibino, 2015). The
Indian government legally
attributes parenthood to those
providing the gametes
• Western cultures: genetics
determine parenthood, even
if governments register births

• Levine (2008) argues that kinship models created by some
non-traditional families use conventional as well as radical
ideas to reference biogenetic connections.
• Parents are changing / constructing
– what is important to not important
– what is legal to illegal
– hiding / denying important facts
• This is evidenced in research where people coped with
cognitive dissonance of the biogenetic distance with the
child by cognitively restructuring new interpretations of third
party AC families (Ragone, 1994; van den Akker, 2007).

• People conceived via scientific developments, are

• A new kind of bio-power (Foucault, 1998) is in the hands of
sufficiently wealthy infertile couples, LGBTQ and single men
and women of all ages who can afford it.
– Eg. A 24 yr old wealthy Japanese man started a ‘baby factory’: fathered 16
children with Thai surrogates over 2 yr period. As soon as they got pregnant,
he requested more; he wanted 10 to 15 babies a year, and wanted to
continue the baby-making process until his death (Rawlinson, 2014).
• The international market in fertility treatment, gamete
donation and surrogacy is a multi-million dollar industry
• The ethics of international baby buying is rarely addressed

• Some surrogates had never before been pregnant
• 18% of genetic and 20% of gestational surrogates had
experienced PND in a previous pregnancy
• Genetic SM and IM had significantly less time getting to

Parenthood inequalities
• In liberal, democratic countries – non traditional is commonplace
• Yet in Australia (see BioNews 799): since1990 -In <30 years there were
27 public inquiries and >17 different laws passed (reacting to ‘difference’)
• Parenting is therefore still contextualised in traditional
nuclear family terms.

Choice inequalities
• National statistics reflect behavioural, attitudinal and lifestyle
choices (Barber, 2001)
• Survey evidence shows family building goals are not abating
(Lee et al, 2005).
• There is not enough support for culturally sanctioned third
party family building for people who need to use AC.
• Governments need to react to the lifestyle & attitude shifts they
have encouraged because biologically time runs out & more
people will need treatment (Hansen et al, 2009)

Risks
Choosing gametes / embryos: LT consequences.
– A California clinic is creating embryos for multiple patients at a time using donor
sperm and donor eggs from young, healthy anonymous donors.
– “anonymous donor embryos” offer infertile patients, especially those who spent
thousands of $ on failed IVF attempts, an “excellent opportunity” to become pregnant.
– The program offers “minimal” wait times and a 100 per cent refund to qualified
recipients .
– Egg and sperm donors are screened for infectious diseases, inherited disorders, mental
illness and “other traits that would be undesirable to most parents,”
Multiple pregnancies: Mothers of AC twins & multiple births are significantly
more likely to experience depression and stress - additional to maternal /
infant health effects.

Responsibilities
Implementing national policies requires a full understanding of the
consequences –such as non disclosure effects on child (van den Akker,
2013), yet:
• The UK legislated for anonymous mitochondrial donation (HFEA, 2015)
– However, there is no reason to withhold health information from
individuals (van den Akker, 2016)
– It is a basic human right to have accurate and true information about
one’s health (Gomes de Andrade, 2010)
• Particularly where medical intervention has brought the (third party
conceived) children into the world (van den Akker, 2013)

Summary
Third party conception introduces difference and
inequalities
• Adverse psychological effects in the triads have been
demonstrated
• Research into the psychological consequences of kinship
and identity is only scratching the surface
• Treatments are brought to society via policy and have
implications at economic, cultural, social and psychological
levels
Reproductive health planning should be a priority
