[Oocyte donation: psychological and sociological aspects, the clinician's viewpoint]

Among the treatment for medical assisted procreation, oocyte donation presents the more complex implications on psycho-sociological aspects. French law of the 29th July 1994, tries to prevent risk for the principal actors of oocyte donation, but has created new problems: 1) the shortage of donors lengthens the waiting list and reduces the succes's chance, 2) the absence of uniformitybetween different countries opens the door to an international market of the oocyte. Medical progress give new possibilities for situations that presented no problem in the past, for instance, pregnancies after menopause. Natural markers are questionned, it is too soon to conclude and to mesure all the consequences of our treatment on the well-being of the child, the recipient's couple, and the donor.
