Mom and less like children from donor eggs

Give birth to children using donated eggs, women do not build them such close emotional ties with family as children. To such conclusion scientists from Cambridge University.

If women give birth to children using donated eggs, they do not build them such close emotional ties as a valuable native children. In the world, a growing number of the fair sex, which are solved by the conception and birth of a child the moment when it is done too late. Their own eggs are not produced in sufficient quantity or not fertilized by sperm. That’s why these women resort to donor eggs. Only one in the UK in 2016 was born the more than 1,400 similar kids, which is three times more than 20 years ago.

However, researchers from Cambridge University found that using donor eggs women does not build a very close relationship with his offspring. Some of them admit that they just can’t bring myself to feel a biological attachment to children, which are not entirely native to them. These women continue to love and take care of the kids, but not so earnestly and sincerely, as it happens with the native children. These are the results of a study involving 85 families in which women have used donor eggs.

Observations have shown that these women are less sensitive to the smiles of their kids and try to make eye contact, and the children are less likely to involve their mothers in the game. For example, they are less likely to stretch the mothers his own toy. The researchers attribute this to the emotional aspects, and not some biological properties of the organism of the mother and child. (READ MORE)
