Secretly Connected? Anonymous Semen Donation, Genetics and Meanings of Kinship SECRETLY CONNECTED? ANONYMOUS SEMEN DONATION, GENETICS AND MEANINGS OF KINSHIP Jennifer M. Speirs Doctor of Philosophy University of Edinburgh 2007 Dedicated to the memory of Izzy Speirs a beloved wife, mother and sister, a much loved and respected friend, kinswoman and colleague, and a stotter of a sister-in-law. Stotter, stoater: excellent, admirable, exactly what is required (Scots, esp. Glasgow). Acknowledgments I am overawed by the number of people who have supported, exhorted, pushed, pulled and accompanied me on the journey of producing this thesis. Many of them will never have the occasion to read it, such as library staff across the length and breadth of the UK who facilitated internet access whilst I was doing fieldwork, the staff in the ticket centre of Edinburgh’s Waverley station who helped to plan my travel, and the staff in the David Hume Tower Senses Cafe, particularly Joan who made it her job to ensure that students eat cheaply but well. For perseverance and (almost) unremitting cheerfulness the reward goes to my principal supervisor Professor Janet Carsten and second supervisor Professor Lynn Jamieson. Their encouragement to believe that I could write a PhD thesis, their attention to detail, their kind but astute and prompt feedback, and their sharing of practice wisdom and intellectual knowledge, were crucial to the achievement of the project. I take this opportunity to thank also my thesis examiners, Professor Anthony Good (Edinburgh) and Dr Bob Simpson (Durham) for their careful analysis of my thesis and their interesting and thought-provoking comments and questions during my viva. Over the years I have benefited from help and encouragement from many other social anthropologists and I thank Soraya Tremayne (Oxford) and Monica Konrad (Cambridge) for their invitations to present my work in progress, and Jeanette Edwards who gifted me a copy of ‘Born and Bred’. Conversations with the late Dr Jonathan Telfer in Adelaide about social anthropology, social work, Janet Carsten’s research, and adoption, are a very precious memory. It has been a privilege to be encouraged by members of the Department of Social Anthropology in Edinburgh, and particularly by the late Dr Charles Jedrej, by Professor Jonathan Spencer, course co-ordinator of the Scottish Training in Anthropological Research (STAR) Advanced (post fieldwork) Course in 2007 and, I suspect, of much else besides which was to my benefit, and by Dr Iris Jean-Klein whose observation that Winnie the Pooh was not stupid, he just had a differently constituted knowledge, has been a constant source of reassurance. I thank also the patient university library staff and the admirable administrative staff of the Graduate School office, especially Sue Grant, who all dealt with problems and queries with a cheerful efficiency, and Ian McNeil, School Computing Officer, for whom no query from me about computer problems was ever too stupid. Funding for most of my fieldwork and writing-up costs came from an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) studentship tenable at the ESRC Innogen Centre, for which I am most grateful. Members of Innogen’s academic and administrative staff were all unfailingly encouraging about my research and my small contribution to the programme of the centre. The ESRC funds the Post Graduate Forum on Genetics and Society (PFGS), a multidisciplinary network of new researchers working in and around areas of genetics and society, and my participation in several PFGS workshops and conferences in the UK provided ideal opportunities for presentation of work in progress. I heartily thank my fellow PFGS students for their interest, conviviality, and robust discussions on these occasions. Postgraduate students at Edinburgh University who also had study space in the inspirational 18th century flats at 10 and 12 Buccleuch Place were a constant source of intellectual and emotional support, especially Weining Cheng and Kelly Davis (Social Anthropology), Ruth Lewis (CRFR), and additionally for I.T. lessons and chocolate exchange, Lucia (“Comrade”) Siu (Sociology) and Michael (“Mr”) Ofori- Mensah (African Studies). Support from family and many friends both near and far were crucial by way of providing hospitality during my fieldwork, and by showing that life continued outside of my PhD project. In particular I thank my cousins Alison, Hilary, Rosemary and Angus and their families, friends Arthur, Libby (and Marouf), Elizabeth S, Elizabeth W, Lorna, Barry, Frances, Linn and family, Ruth and John, Ann and Donald and also Dave and Brenda in Siabost bho Dheas, and ‘the ladies who breakfast’ after the 9 a.m. service at St Andrews and St Georges Church. For practical kinship, memorable food and wine, love, laughter and companionship in sorrow, I thank my dear brothers John and Alasdair, my savvy sister-in-law Susan, and my admirable nephews and nieces-in-law Andrew and Rachel, David and Catherine, Sandy and Julie, and Tom and Kirsten. To the elders of the youngest generation, Tasha and Magnus, thank you for making me feel special. Many people working in the field of infertility, and many others keeping an eye on what they are doing, were generous with the attention which they gave to my research questions, and with advice, ideas, sharing of memories and access to documents. I thank members of the British Fertility Society (BFS) and especially members of its Executive Committee, other members of the medical, scientific and nursing professions in the UK and Scandinavia, Gwen Skinner at the Department of Health in London, and Peter Mills at the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority. BFS conferences were sponsored and supported by pharmaceutical and other commercial businesses whose representatives were always happy to discuss my project and to keep me supplied with free ball point pens. Many thanks also to the National Gamete Donation Trust Advisory Council, to colleagues in post-adoption agencies, the British Infertility Counselling Association and the Scottish Infertility Counselling Group, and to staff of Doctors.net.uk. For engaging discussions on professional, personal, ethical and political aspects of donor-assisted conception I am grateful to current and recent members of the British Association of Social Workers’ Project Group on Assisted Reproduction: Amanda, Ann, David, Elizabeth, Jennie, Julia, Marilyn, Olivia, and especially Eric Blyth who demonstrated his faith in me by providing a reference for my PhD application. I am profoundly grateful for the information, personal stories, comments and exasperations shared by people with a personal involvement in donor-assisted conception as donors, donor-conceived individuals, family members of donors, parents of donor-conceived children and young people, members of DC Network, UK Donorlink and the Donor Conception Support Group of Australia. Finally I acknowledge my great indebtedness to the semen donors who agreed to be interviewed by me and to share their views, feelings, and memories, especially because, having been socially obliterated, they were not supposed to exist as persons at all. I hope that they will feel that their trust in me was worth their while. University of Edinburgh Scotland December 2007 ABSTRACT The use of donated human semen in the UK was developed by medical practitioners as a means of circumventing male infertility and helping childless women to achieve a pregnancy. Uncertainty about the legal status of donor-conceived children and moral concerns about the possible effects on the marital relationship of the recipients worked to maintain donor insemination (DI) as a largely hidden practice in which the donors remained anonymous to the recipients and unrevealed to any resulting donor offspring. Donors were not expected or encouraged to take any interest in what became of their donations even after the practice became subject to regulation by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990. This thesis is based on a set of unstructured interviews with medical practitioners and other health professionals currently or formerly working in clinics providing DI services in the UK, and with men who donated semen between the 1960s and early 1980s mostly when they were medical students. Participant observation was carried out at conferences and other meetings of organisations and individuals with professional or personal involvement in donor-assisted conception, and a survey was made of infertility clinics’ policies concerning the use of semen from donors known personally to recipients. Discussions with donors revealed ambivalent and mixed feelings about their involvement in providing semen, often for payment, and about their lack of information regarding the outcome of their donations. The idea of possible contact with donor offspring is influenced for these semen donors by their perceptions and experiences of what it means to be a parent and by the significance attributed to physical resemblances between genetically related people. In this situation of ambiguity and uncertain obligation, there is no existing script for managing possible new kinds of kinship relation. The historical tension in DI services between opportunity and risk because of possible defects or disease in donated semen is now echoed in professional uncertainties about whether to allow semen donation where the donor and recipient are known personally to each other. I show that for some people, including donors, this brings the practice into a kinship frame, whilst for others it confuses family boundaries because of the

    Consortium for Research on Educational Access, Transitions and Equity South Asian Nomads - A Literature Review Anita Sharma CREATE PATHWAYS TO ACCESS Research Monograph No. 58 January 2011 University of Sussex Centre for International Education The Consortium for Educational Access, Transitions and Equity (CREATE) is a Research Programme Consortium supported by the UK Department for International Development (DFID). Its purpose is to undertake research designed to improve access to basic education in developing countries. It seeks to achieve this through generating new knowledge and encouraging its application through effective communication and dissemination to national and international development agencies, national governments, education and development professionals, non-government organisations and other interested stakeholders. Access to basic education lies at the heart of development. Lack of educational access, and securely acquired knowledge and skill, is both a part of the definition of poverty, and a means for its diminution. Sustained access to meaningful learning that has value is critical to long term improvements in productivity, the reduction of inter- generational cycles of poverty, demographic transition, preventive health care, the empowerment of women, and reductions in inequality. The CREATE partners CREATE is developing its research collaboratively with partners in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

The relationships between law, science and society are central to a diverse range of practical, ethical and theoretical issues. With an increasing emphasis on the fluidity and uncertainty of each of these areas, the analysis of their intersection(s) has become complex. Accordingly, scholars have borrowed from a range of disciplines and case studies to analyse not only how such intersections materialize, but also how and from where they should be approached. Notably, STS has provided a basis to explore the links between science and society, and socio-legal studies has offered many tools to understand the relationships between law and society. In recent years, a growing number of scholars have borrowed from both fields in order to further their efforts to understand the interconnectedness of law, science and society.

  • Motzhafi-Haller, Agency of Marginalized People
    Motzhafi-Haller, Agency of marginalized people LOCATING THE AGENCY OF MARGINALIZED PEOPLE: NOMADIC AND POST-NOMADIC SERVICE POPULATIONS IN RAJASTHAN, INDIA PNINA MOTZAFI-HALLER Abstract Using both ethnographic and survey data, this article explores the complex ways in which camp-dwellers on the margins of settled communities in Rajasthan, India, have interacted with state agents, services and systems of knowledge in a manner that articulates their limited but nonetheless significant agency. I explore three arenas through which the state’s presence is felt in the lives of these marginalized people: access to land, to health services and to public schooling. I argue that marginalized people are not merely the victims of centrist powers but exhibit a resourcefulness and flexibility that redefines group boundaries and the impact of state policies on their lives. Introduction The nature of interaction between state systems and nomadic peoples is a familiar one: because of their ability to change location, their dispersal and their inaccessibility, nomadic societies are often hard to control from the centre of state power. In their efforts to appropriate marginalized nomadic populations, central political systems are often recorded as demanding major changes in their lifestyles, but offer few services in return. States have often tended to discriminate against newly sedentarized communities. For their part, nomadic populations, pastoralists as well as non-pastoralists, have tended to resist political incorporation into state systems by developing and maintaining flexible subsistence strategies, an egalitarian social organization and the fierce cultural ethos of an autonomous and mobile lifestyle. This prevalent view of nomadic people’s interactions with the state has been convincingly elaborated in the literature using historical and comparative data from different world regions (Salzman 2004, Scott 2009).

  • Lisa Jardine and the Hfea
    SALT AND LIGHT PAPERS Salt and Light Papers provide important information and analysis to help Christians and Churches to engage with 21st century social issues AA10 NEW CHAIRMAN, NEW DIRECTIONS: LISA JARDINE AND THE HFEA On 1 October, the new Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008 (HFE Act 2008) came into force. It is the single greatest change to affect the UK fertility and embryo research sectors since the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) was established nearly two decades ago. The HFEA’s first chairman, back in 1990, was Professor Colin Campbell, followed in 1994 by Baroness Ruth Deech and in 2002 by Dame Suzi Leather, plus a couple of short-lived heads. Now, since April 2008, Lisa Jardine is in charge. Professor Lisa Jardine CBE is also the Director of the Centre for Editing Lives and Letters and Centenary Professor of Renaissance Studies at Queen Mary, University of London. So, is she bioethically liberal or conservative? Will her rule be stringent or compliant? Has she already stamped her imprint on this disorderly organisation? Perhaps, not yet, but some of her recent statements are worrying, even alarming. For example, she has recently called for a public debate to decide whether people who donate ova and sperm to infertile couples should be paid more than the current maximum of £250 for ‘reasonable expenses’. The thought of trading in human gametes leaves a nasty taste in one’s mouth. Will there be a standard price, or a premium for gametes from beautiful or intelligent people, or a discount for multiple purchases? Donations of bodily tissues, such as blood and organs, have traditionally been regarded in the UK as willingly-given, altruistic gifts.

  • The Removal of Donor Anonymity in the Uk: the Silencing of Claims by Would-Be Parents
    THE REMOVAL OF DONOR ANONYMITY IN THE UK: THE SILENCING OF CLAIMS BY WOULD-BE PARENTS like TURKMENDAG BRUNSNES, MA. UniVCt2ity of Nc:.tingh2m H :~H'·.J2rcJ, Library .{ ----....'~h_ Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2009 Abstract From 1 April 2005, UK law was changed to allow children born through gamete donation to access identifying details of the donor. The decision to abolish donor anonymity was strongly influenced by a discourse that asserted the 'child's right-to-know' their genetic origins. Under the current regulation, if would-be parents want to receive treatment in the UK, they have no option but to use gametes/embryos from identifiable donors. For a majority, this also means that they will be on lengthy waiting lists due to the donor shortage. Interestingly, the voice of would-be parents - those who would be most affected by a contraction in donor supply and would carry the burden of informing children of their origins, should they so choose- were not heard during the donor anonymity debate or thereafter. Adopting a social constructionist approach, this thesis studies removal of donor anonymity as a social problem and examines why would-be parents remained silent during the public debate. There are two major steps taken: first, examining the donor anonymity debate in the public realm through media presentations, and secondly investigating would-be parents' reactions through ethnographic studies: a virtual ethnography study and interviews. The accounts of a sub-group of would-be parents reveal that having a donor-conceived child constitutes a permanent charge of deviance against the family.

  • How to Fix the Funding of Health and Social Care
    How to fix the funding of health and social care Nick Davies | Lucy Campbell | Chris McNulty About this report The UK’s health and social care services face long-standing pressures. Successive governments have known about these challenges for years, but failed to adequately deal with them. As a result, there is a growing funding gap. Successfully developing and implementing proposals will be hard. Plausible solutions will inevitably have trade-offs: there will be both winners and losers. Yet, for the settlement to be sustainable, government will need to build public and political support. This report examines how to enable politicians to promote answers for tackling the long-term funding challenge facing health and social care. Via a wealth of case studies supported by analysis and interviews, it identifies different approaches to policy-making on contentious issues, and how these could be applied to health and social care. This project has been funded by the Health Foundation.

  • Briefing March 11.P65
    No to Eggsploitation: The Case Against Payments for Egg Donation March 2011 Summary This briefing makes the case against HFEA proposals to increase compensation payments for egg donors. We argue that increasing payments above current levels will create financial incentives to donate. This would violate the international consensus against the commercialisation of human tissue, which has always governed blood and tissue donation in Britain. In particular, it is against the spirit of the EU Tissues and Cells Directive. It will create a form of exploitation (‘eggsploitation’), in which poor women and students with large debts will be induced to take significant health risks, and inevitably, some will be harmed, as has happened in Eastern Europe over the last ten years. We show that the risks of egg donation are greater than the HFEA acknowledges, and that there is a lack of adequate monitoring of the most well known risk, Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome. The HFEA has argued that increasing compensation would help to overcome the shortage of donors in Britain. However, there are many problems with this argument. Firstly, it is wrong to change ethical rules in order to achieve pragmatic goals, and we question why the supply of eggs should be expected to meet the demand. Secondly, only IVF clinic staff and the HFEA support the idea; there is no call for increased compensation from donors, parents and the public at large, and donor-conceived people are strongly opposed to the idea, because they do not want their ‘donor parent’ to have been motivated by financial gain. Thirdly, there is no evidence that increasing compensation will actually succeed in increasing the number of altruistic donors: evidence from Spain, whose approach the HFEA wants to copy, suggests that most donors there are motivated by financial gain.

  • OBITUARY for APARNA RAO (1950–2005) Michael Bollig
    OBITUARY FOR APARNA RAO (1950–2005) Michael Bollig Aparna’s last two books have just been published (Rao, Aparna. 2008. The Valley of Kashmir: The Making and Unmaking of a Composite Culture? and Rao, A. Bollig and Böck. 2007. The Practice of War – Production, Reproduction and Communication of Armed Violence. London: Berghahn.) – almost four years after her premature death. Both books had been her last big projects. The first book deals with the complex culture(s) of Kashmir and their contemporary development and the second book focuses on anthropological perspectives on new forms of violence. She worked on various contributions with a lot of energy, straightened the course of arguments and put language straight. It is her path-breaking energy, her academic astuteness and her immense talent for in-depth questioning of scientific arguments, which her colleagues will fondly remember. It was also her tactfulness and modesty which made it easy for us to listen to her well-founded arguments. Aparna died on 28 June 2005 after being severely sick for about a year. Due to her premature death, international anthropology has lost an excellent, highly innovative and diverse researcher. Her departure will be particularly felt in the field of studies on nomadic populations.
