Abstract
The aim: To study the current regulation on egg donation in Ukraine as one of the most attractive destinations for reproductive tourism, establish the current loopholes in the legal framework to be addressed when amending Ukrainian legal rules. Materials and methods: The article is based on studying international and regional legal acts, jurisprudence of European Court of Human rights, pieces of national Ukrainian legislation, law drafts submitted to Ukrainian parliament and legal doctrine. The methodology of the article includes dialectical, comparative method and the method of systematic and structural analysis. Conclusions: Existing legal framework in Ukraine has some serious lacunas that can result in violation of rights and interests of donors and of the children. Firstly, the state does not keep the unique state register of donors. Secondly, there are no rules on compensation for egg donor. Lastly, the current Ukrainian legislation does not contain provisions ensuring protection of the child`s right to know about one`s genetic origin, and thus to obtain the identifying infor-mation about the donor. All these issues should be addressed in order to establish a fair balance between the rights and the interests of donors, recipients, the child and the society.
