[Oocyte donors. Psychological aspects].
This study concerns 63 oocyte donors who were investigated after a semi-directed interview. In our procedure all "personalized anonymity" donation took place on two levels: symbolic donation for close recipient, real donation for unknown recipient. All donors agree with anonymity without which some would not have preceded. Narcissic weakness often linked with recent trauma (death...) is often seen in patients who do not achieve the gift. Oblativity and happy motherhood are the most important reasons for oocyte gift.
