Abstract：
The Journal of Medical Ethics previously published on the debate in the UK and the Netherlands concerning the legal age limits imposed on donor-conceived people for access to information about the identity of gamete and embryo donors. In that publication, three arguments were foregrounded against lowering these age limits as a general rule for all donor-conceived people. In this contribution, we engage with these arguments and argue why we think they are insufficient to maintain the age limits. In contrast, we argue for a more suited, contextual and relational ethical framework based on care ethics, which emphasises relational autonomy and its dynamic, contextual development. This framework, we argue, provides a comprehensive approach for the analysis we made of the question of age limits and was applied in research performed in the Netherlands, commissioned by the Dutch Minister of Health. The framework enabled us to weigh the multidisciplinary-legal, psychological, phenomenological and ethical-findings of our research.
摘要：
《医学伦理学杂志》此前曾在英国和荷兰的辩论中发表，该辩论涉及对捐赠者受孕者的法定年龄限制，以获取有关配子和胚胎捐赠者身份的信息。在该出版物中，有三个理由反对将这些年龄限制作为所有捐赠者受孕者的一般规则。在这一贡献中,我们参与这些论点，并争论为什么我们认为它们不足以维持年龄限制。相比之下,我们主张更适合，基于护理伦理的语境和关系伦理框架，强调关系自主性及其动态性，上下文发展。这个框架,我们争论，为我们对年龄限制问题的分析提供了一种全面的方法，并在荷兰进行的研究中得到了应用，由荷兰卫生部长委托。该框架使我们能够权衡多学科法律，心理,我们研究的现象学和伦理学发现。
