管理辅助生殖的法规控制着配子捐赠的法律的程度以及提供遗传物质的人如何被选择和补偿。美国和西班牙都是使用供体卵母细胞进行生育治疗的全球领导者。然而，这两个国家对卵子捐赠的监管方式不同。美国模式揭示了一种等级组织形式的性别优生学。在西班牙，选择捐赠者的优生因素更为微妙。基于美国和西班牙的实地调查，本文探讨了（1）在两种监管环境下，有偿卵子捐赠如何运作，（2）作为生物产品提供者的卵子捐赠者的影响，以及（3）卵母细胞玻璃化冷冻的进步如何提高人类卵子的商品质量。通过比较这两种生殖生物经济学，我们可以深入了解不同的文化，医学和伦理框架如何与卵子捐赠者的具体经验相交。
Regulations governing assisted reproduction control the degree to which gamete donation is legal and how people providing genetic material are selected and compensated. The United States and Spain are both global leaders in fertility treatment with donor oocytes. Yet both countries take different approaches to how egg donation is regulated. The US model reveals a hierarchically organized form of gendered eugenics. In Spain, the eugenic aspects of donor selection are more subtle. Drawing upon fieldwork in the United States and Spain, this article examines (1) how compensated egg donation operates under two regulatory settings, (2) the implications for egg donors as providers of bioproducts, and (3) how advances in oocyte vitrification enhances the commodity quality of human eggs. By comparing these two reproductive bioeconomies we gain insight into how different cultural, medical, and ethical frameworks intersect with egg donor embodied experiences.
