  我想我是一個認真的人,有時候到了嚴肅的地步。還記得剛入小學的第一課就是ㄅㄆㄇㄈ,老師說下週要考,可是一週過去了,我還沒全學會,急得不得了,回家就發燒了,媽媽還得幫我惡補。下星期老師竟然完全忘了考試這回事!而我至今餘悸猶存。
  最近一位好友退休,她在嚴肅這件事上比我更勝一籌,在我們為她舉行的餐會中一絲不苟地討論未來生活的意義,我勸她不必急,不妨先混一混。李豐(寫《我賺了四十年》的那位台大醫師)在電話上聽了我的轉述,大笑道:「你混得怎樣?」我說:「不錯啊!」她卻不以為然:「我聽妳聲音就知道妳還是那樣,說話太快了!」幾十年來她一直勸我慢下來。慢才能品味生活,才能靜攬人生,才能修鍊身心。
  不僅需要調整步調,我也想改變自己的寫作風格,輕鬆一點,閒適一點,更多一點生活,多一點感覺。渴望有自己的部落格,不被字數、時尚、市場、刊物風格、主編好惡綁住。大部分是為自己寫吧,也為了分享,至於未來,就交給上天了。 email: yenlinku@mail2000.com.tw

對衛福部代孕專案會議的回應


行政院性平會委員顧燕翎2014/4/3

昨天收到衛福部103123日晚間代孕專案會議的紀錄,那次會議因為數度改期,我最後無法參加,因此想在此分享一些回應。

  我認為代孕涉及幾個基本問題:一.請人代孕是否為基本人權。二.替人代孕是否為工作,可否以及如何收費。三.代理孕母是否母親,因此涉及代孕子女是否要經由收養或准收養程序交給委託夫妻。四.是否允許代孕廣告及仲介,可否商業化。五.代孕子女權利。法規制定前必須先釐清這些問題。


一.請人代孕是基本人權?

  在專案會議中交大科法所助理教授江浣翠引用1994年開羅國際人口與發展會議對生育權的定義,認定 其中have the …means to do so.應可包含使用現存的生殖科技技術,包含代孕"這樣的引申可能過當。(在衛福部委託台大社會系林國明教授召開的公民會議的紀錄中,亦開宗明義表示,找人代孕是基本人權。)仔細閱讀1994會議的行動方案,也就是江教授引文的出處,若多讀幾行(如下),可以發現生育權涵蓋的是生育者的基本人權,安全、可負擔、有效、合理的生育過程,並不包含找別人代生。

The 1994 International Conference on Population and Development Program of Action

A.    Reproductive rights and reproductive health

Basis for action

7.2. Reproductive health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, in all matters relating to the reproductive system and to its functions and processes. Reproductive health therefore implies that people are able to have a satisfying and safe sex life and that they have the capability to reproduce and the freedom to decide if, when and how often to do so. Implicit in this last condition are the right of men and women to be informed and to have access to safe, effective, affordable and acceptable methods of family planning of their choice, as well as other methods of their choice for regulation of fertility which are not against the law, and the right of access to appropriate health-care services that will enable women to go safely through pregnancy and childbirth and provide couples with the best chance of having a healthy infant. In line with the above definition of reproductive health, reproductive health care is defined as the constellation of methods, techniques and services that contribute to reproductive health and well-being by preventing and solving reproductive health problems. It also includes sexual health, the purpose of which is the enhancement of life and personal relations, and not merely counselling and care related to reproduction and sexually transmitted diseases.

7.3. Bearing in mind the above definition, reproductive rights embrace certain human rights that are already recognized in national laws, international human rights documents and other consensus documents. These rights rest on the recognition of the basic right of all couples and individuals to decide freely and responsibly the number, spacing and timing of their children and to have the information and means to do so, and the right to attain the highest standard of sexual and reproductive health. It also includes their right to make decisions concerning reproduction free of discrimination, coercion and violence, as expressed in human rights documents. In the exercise of this right, they should take into account the needs of their living and future children and their responsibilities towards the community. The promotion of the responsible exercise of these rights for all people should be the fundamental basis for government- and community-supported policies and programmes in the area of reproductive health, including family planning….

二.代孕可成為工作,得到工作權的保障?

代孕者需承擔生命的風險和長時間、無休息的身體負擔、生活品質的犧牲,代孕可以算是工作,換取合理工資嗎?

為了避免人口買賣,草案中明確規定代孕必須是無償、利他、愛心的付出,委託者可以用金錢來彌補代孕者懷孕所需的費用及工作損失,但必須由政府設下金額上限。所以代孕不是工作,不可以領取酬勞,但有公定價碼。相形之下,荷蘭的代孕規範及執法都非常嚴格,酬勞卻不設限制。

在國際分工下,代孕價碼已經層級化,無償代孕的英、荷價碼遠高於商業(有酬)代孕的印度,未來台灣的價位應會落在二者中間。

雖然商業代孕可能涉及人口販賣,違反人權,但在極度貧窮地區,有些婦女可以因此讓子女上學、修理破損的房屋,也是謀生之道,似應予以工作保障,免受剥削。

草案明訂代理孕母必須無償付出,但可以有少量的金錢補償,同時並沒有規定相關的業者(仲介、廣告、醫師及其他)也必須無償工作,矛盾之處不少。

三.誰的親權?

大部分合法化代孕的國家,如英、澳、荷、加、以,都視代孕者為生母(birth parent)及法律上的母親,(以色列則是由社工暫任監護人,澳洲甚至在法律上稱委託者為substitute parent arranged parent)。委託者需通過收養或准收養手續,孕母有反悔權。反悔權雖甚少使用,但其存在可以確保代孕者確實是在自由意志下放棄對子女的親權。草案一方面要求代孕者基於愛心,無償付出,一方面又推翻民法對生母和血親的認定,讓代孕子女一出生即成為委託夫妻的婚生子女,剥奪代孕者的反悔權,並不公允。

四.廣告及仲介?

廣告及仲介是代孕商業化的關鍵,也是利之所在,應明文禁止,明訂罰則,並參考澳洲定義何為廣告,參考英國確定處罰對象。荷蘭、澳洲對仲介及廣告皆處以刑罰,並且詳細規定何謂廣告[1]。英國禁止廣告,業主、編輯、發行人都有罪[2],居間代孕服務機構不得收取任何形式報酬,機構內之個人收取報酬亦視同機構收取報酬。

應明訂個人和機構皆不得進行仲介,不得收取任何形式報酬。居間代孕服務機構內之個人收取報酬視同機構收取報酬。[3]

五.代孕子女權利

代孕子女應有權利知道自己的基因歷史和手足關係。

委託夫妻之檢查及評估應增加有無犯罪(特別是性犯罪)、家暴之紀錄,並確保雙方之年齡/健康狀況足以照顧代孕子女至成年。西澳規定因年長而無法懷孕不能做為委託代孕之理由;荷蘭規定委託妻不得大於41歲;以色列委託夫不得大於59歲,妻不得大於48歲。

 六.其他

1. 委託夫妻應在台設籍並居住半年以上,方得享用健保。澳洲、以色列規定委託者必須為當地居民。

2.應明確規定精卵捐贈者、委託者、代孕者及其配偶或伴侶都需接受獨立的心理、生理及法律諮商,以確保各方都獲得完整、正確的資訊,再做決定。獨立是指與進行代孕的醫師和機構與提供諮商服務者沒有任何關聯。[4]
