DESCRIPTION:The 9I��������� Journal of Law and Health (MJLH) will be hosting its
  first panel discussion of the year on the establishment of an egg and spe
 rm donor registry in Canada\, with Vanessa Gruben\, Vardit Ravitsky and Vi
 ncent Couture.\n\nAu Canada\, l’origine des dons de sperme et d'ovules peu
 t être connue ou anonyme. Lorsque les parents receveurs décident d'utili
 ser des gamètes données anonymement\, les origines biologiques de l'enfa
 nt qui en résulte peuvent rester un mystère tout au long de sa vie. Il n
 'y a pas de registre national des donneurs de gamètes ainsi qu’aucune lé
 gislation protégeant le droit des personnes issues du don de connaître l
 'identité de leur(s) parent(s) biologique(s).\n\nDisclosing the identity 
 of sperm and egg donors raises many legal\, technical\, and bioethical iss
 ues. While some countries have adopted open donation policies\, recognized
  the right to know one’s genetic origins\, and created donor registries\, 
 most donations in Canada remain anonymous.\n\nGiven that the Canadian Fert
 ility and Andrology Society has announced that it will address the subject
  of anonymous gamete donation at its annual conference in 2017\, this pane
 l is an important lead up to the larger policy discussion that is coming t
 o Canada.\n\nSpeakers\n\nVanessa Gruben is professor at the University of 
 Ottawa's Faculty of Law. Professor Gruben’s research surrounds legal regul
 ation of different aspects of assisted human reproduction. Professor Grube

 e Court of Canada in Charkaoui v. Canada and Khadr v. Canada\, and the Can
 adian Human Rights Tribunal. She is also a member of the Health Profession
 s Appeal and Review Board and the Health Services Appeal and Review Board.
 \n\nVardit Ravitsky is an associate professor of in the Bioethics Programs
  at the School of Public Health\, University of Montreal. Some of Professo
 r Ravitsky's main areas of interest include genetics and reproductive tech
 nologies. Professor Ravitsky is also the Director of the Ethics and Health
  axis of the Centre de recherche en éthique de l'Université de Montréal (C
 RÉUM)\, a member of the University of Montreal Public Health Research Inst
 itute (IRSPUM) and the co-chair for the CIHR's Institute of Genetics' Prio
 rity & Planning Committee for Health Services\, Policy & ELSI (Ethical\, L
 egal and Social Issues) Research.\n\nVincent Couture is a doctoral student
  in the Programmes de sciences cliniques\, Faculté de médecine et des scie
 nces de la santé (FMSS) at the University of Sherbrooke. His research inte
 rests include ethical\, social and cultural aspects of human reproduction.

 uctive services\, and the international circulation of gametes. Moreover\,
  he is involved in a project relating to the convergence of ethics and aes
 thetics entitled 'Art + Bioéthique'\, as well as a bilingual\, internation
 al academic journal entitled 'BioéthiqueOnline.'\n\nRefreshments will foll
