1990年《人类受精和胚胎学法》第13(5)条要求生育诊所在提供规范的治疗服务之前,考虑到因治疗而可能出生的任何儿童以及受该出生影响的任何其他儿童的福利。本文介绍了一项实证研究的结果,探讨了2008年有争议的这一部分改革对实践的影响。虽然支撑第13(5)条的广泛价值观似乎深深植根于诊所工作人员对道德问题的参与,但几乎没有证据表明2008年修正案对实践产生了影响。在第13条第(5)款的执行方面出现了一种复杂的情况,特别是在其与其他因素的相互作用方面,如供资标准和咨询方面的专业规范,这意味着对可能的养育能力-特别是单身妇女的养育能力-的持续关注程度高于仅从阅读法规和指导中所预期的程度。
Section 13(5) of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990 requires fertility clinics, before offering regulated treatment services, to take account of the welfare of any child who may be born as a result of the treatment and any other child affected by that birth. This paper presents the findings of an empirical study examining the impact on practice of the controversial reform of this section in 2008. While the broad values underpinning section 13(5) appear well embedded in clinic staff's engagement with ethical issues, there is little evidence that practice has been influenced by the 2008 amendments. A complex picture emerged regarding the implementation of section 13(5), particularly in its interaction with other factors, such as funding criteria and professional norms around counselling, implying a higher level of ongoing attention to likely parenting ability – particularly that of single women – than might be expected from a reading of the statute and guidance alone.
