我们报告了2009年至2011年在澳大利亚大都市进行的一项定性研究的结果，该研究探讨了研究卵母细胞捐赠的支付问题，参与者来自三个潜在的捐赠群体：生育患者，生殖捐赠者和年轻的非患者女性。研究卵母细胞是有争议的组织，因为世界各地的妇女已经证明在很大程度上不愿意无私地捐赠它们。在随后关于采购的国际辩论中，金钱及其在组织捐赠中的适当和不适当使用问题占据了中心地位。虽然现在有大量的专家评论这个问题，几乎没有研究探讨这个问题与潜在的捐助者群体。我们的研究询问了三组妇女对利他主义的理解，补偿，补贴，补偿和支付生殖和研究卵子的捐赠。我们确定了一个阻力，将钱引入生殖捐赠领域，大多数受访者认为应该仍然是个性化的礼物关系的一个领域。在研究捐赠领域，我们发现流动性程度（资金受约束或不受约束的程度）与道德适当性之间存在很强的关系。我们还描述了一个特定的文化意义上的公平和公正的参与者，与相对较高的公共补贴的生育治疗在澳大利亚，他们用来衡量他们的感觉适当和不适当的使用金钱。虽然参与者的反应反映了澳大利亚的监管环境，特别是缺乏美国式的生殖卵母细胞市场，但它们也为全球辩论做出了重要贡献。
We report the results of a qualitative study carried out in metropolitan Australia between 2009 and 2011 that canvassed the issue of payment for research oöcyte donation with participants drawn from three potential donor groups; fertility patients, reproductive donors and young, non-patient women. Research oöcytes are controversial tissues because women around the world have proved largely unwilling to donate them altruistically. In the ensuing international debate about procurement, the issue of money and its appropriate and inappropriate uses in tissue donation has taken centre stage. While there is now an abundance of expert commentary on this matter, there are almost no studies that probe this issue with potential donor populations. Our study asked the three groups of women about their understandings of altruistic, reimbursed, subsidised, compensated and paid donation for both reproductive and research eggs. We identify a resistance to the introduction of money into the sphere of reproductive donation, which the majority of respondents felt should remain an area of personalised gift relations. In the area of research donation we find a strong relationship between degrees ofliquidity(the extent to which money is constrained or unconstrained) and a sense of ethical appropriateness. We also describe a culturally specific sense of fairness and equity among participants, associated with the relatively high public subsidisation of fertility treatment in Australia, which they used to benchmark their sense of appropriate and inappropriate uses of money. While the participant responses reflect the regulatory environment in Australia, particularly the absence of a US style market in reproductive oöcytes, they also make an important contribution to the global debate.
