面部亲属关系验证（FKV）技术的目的是通过比较他们的面部图像来确定两个人是否有遗传关系。FKV正在迅速发展，它可以用于以各种方式和环境寻找遗传亲属，例如寻找失踪的儿童或未知的父母。在这篇文章中，我们专注于一个领域，这项技术可能会有重大影响，寻找配子（卵子和精子）和胚胎捐赠者（S）的捐赠者怀孕的人。在许多司法管辖区，捐赠者怀孕的人无法获得有关其捐赠者身份的信息，这方面的法律差异很大。我们提供了一个初步的概述FKV在这种情况下提出的法律的和相关的伦理问题，并触及其他领域，它可能被用来寻找遗传亲属，作为进一步分析和研究的起点。
The aim of Facial Kinship Verification (FKV) technologies is to determine, by comparing images of their faces, whether two people are related genetically. FKV is developing rapidly, and it could be used to search for genetic relatives in a variety of ways and settings, such as searching for missing children or unknown parents. In this article, we focus on one area where this technology might have significant implications, the searching for gamete (egg and sperm) and embryo donor(s) by donor-conceived people. In many jurisdictions, donor-conceived people do not have access to information about their donor’s identity, and laws differ significantly in this area. We offer an initial overview of the legal and related ethical issues raised by FKV in this context, and touch on other areas where it might be used to find genetic relatives, as a starting point for further analysis and research.
