Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf calls for egg donation legalization in Germany
Legal scholar Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf is advocating for the legalization of egg donation in Germany, arguing that the current prohibition constitutes an obvious violation of equality since sperm donation is already permitted.
Brosius-Gersdorf, a law professor from Potsdam, suggests that legalizing egg donation could serve as a starting point for a broader debate regarding the regulation of surrogacy. She proposes that Germany should examine international legal models to develop a framework that protects all parties involved.
The jurist further contends that a state ban on voluntary surrogacy represents an interference with fundamental rights. She emphasizes that any future legal framework must ensure that women make reproductive decisions autonomously and voluntarily, free from economic necessity or social pressure.
