Draft on sexual health, from the discourse of surrogate mothers to donors of

The Ministry of Health has submitted for public consultation a draft law on sexual and reproductive health.

The 16-page draft aims to legislate invitro reproduction, the birth of children through surrogate mothers, the creation of banks for freezing reproductive cells and the authorization of abortion within the first 14 weeks of pregnancy, up from the current 12.

If this draft were approved, every woman and man in Albania over the age of 18 could become a donor of his reproductive cells.

According to Article 18 of the draft law, the donation can be made up to 5 times.

"The age of female donors for egg donation starts after the age of 18 and ends at the age of 35. For male donors, sperm donation begins at the age of 18 and ends at the age of 45. Donation will be anonymous and must guarantee the confidentiality of donor identity data from reproductive cell banks and donor registries. The donation will be revocable only when the donor requests the donated reproductive cells, to use for himself, always if on the date of the request they will be available."

Likewise, the initiative of the Ministry of Health aims to legislate in Albania the birth of children from surrogate mothers or surrogates, as it is otherwise known: "The woman who wants to have a child must be infertile or find it impossible to have a pregnancy in her body. her for anatomical, medical reasons or a high risk for her health. The surrogate woman must not use her own eggs to achieve pregnancy.

She must be over 25 years old and have given birth to at least one child. The procedures and conditions that must be met for a surrogate pregnancy are defined in the relevant protocol approved by order of the minister responsible for health." 

Although it has been designated as a draft for public consultation, the author of this legal initiative, the Ministry of Health, has decided to remain silent by not bringing out any of the reproductive health experts to argue the draft law.

This initiative is expected to cause debates among those specialists who can still express themselves, while the last word will come from the Assembly after the discussions in the parliamentary commissions.
