| | No18 Update on studies undertaken by the committee regarding gamete and embryo donation. December 15, 1989 |
 | | Extracted from the body and subjected to principles and methods which govern instrumental techniques, gametes and embryos - the source of life which conditions the lengthy and hesitant psychic construction of the individual - may well be represented as property, belongings, objects to be used for the satisfaction of sometimes ambiguous yearnings. | | | - gametes are the vectors of identity of a new human being; the embryo, to use an expression to be found in several of our Opinions, must be recognised as a potential human person. | | | Even if the numbers of couples and families were extremely limited, because of this dissociation between generation and parenthood there is a danger of a more or less partial replacement of the intimacy of procreation by a " biomedical production technique" which psychiatrists and psychologists warn against. |

| | It is significant that in Australia, consumer groups such as the Donor Conception Network have become important and influential advocates for change regarding gamete and embryo donation. | | | Recently, there has been growing criticism about many of the practices associated with gamete donation. | | | There is also controversy regarding the issue of whether donors of gametes and embryos should be paid, a practice the federal government has stated it intends to prohibit on the grounds that it is contrary to the dignity of human life. |

| | No20 Opinion on present organisation of gamete donation and its consequences. July 18, 1990 |
| | The National Consultative Ethics Committee, in its opinion dated 23rd October, 1984, on the subject of ethical problems arising out of artificial reproductive techniques, stated that " activities and research resulting from the use of artificial reproductive techniques must no longer be undertaken by any but authorised non-profit making teams of researchers". | | | Thus, strict application of the decree leads to a paradox. | | | In April 1988, two decrees (n°s 88327 and 88328) initiated regulations for MAR activities which in terms of their biology are defined as " sperm collection, processing of human gametes in view of fertilisation, their conservation, in vitro fertilisation and the conservation of fertilised human eggs with a view to transfer". |

| | The possibility that embryos may be maintained and cultivated in vitro is of vital importance, both in clinical medicine and animal husbandry. | | | The future of the embryo is difficult to evaluate on the basis of gamete quality; in some cases, even if fertilization has occurred, no further development may occur. | | | The present study by classical cytogenetic and FISH techniques was designed to estimate chromosome abnormalities in human gametes in order to assess the contribution of oocytes and spermatozoa, the aberration ratio at the zygotic stage, and during the first steps of development following coculture. |

| | The Eggcorn Database » gamete |
| | I suggest that these facts indicate that writers recognize that GAMETE is the spelling for a word of English — the other misspellings are not standard spellings of English words — which is then available (despite its own oddities of spelling) for the idiom “run the _” ‘cover a complete range or extent’. | | | It doesn’t attain eggcorn status unless we can show that there are some speakers who think that the word “gamete” is somehow involved in the idiom. | | | With as yet no access to people who use the spelling GAMETE, I’ve marked this one as questionable: how do people pronounce GAMETE in this context, and do they think there’s some connection to reproductive cells? |
