However, despite on\u2010going debates about the ethics of payments to donors, few studies have examined the views of donors themselves regarding the meaning of payments and their compatibility (or not) with understandings of these practices as gifts. This article addresses this issue, analysing 24 in\u2010depth interviews with<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">UK<\/jats:styled-content>identity\u2010release gamete donors. It was crucial to all participants that their donation be viewed as fundamentally other\u2010oriented, motivated by the desire to help others. However, whilst egg donors often accommodated payment within this narrative, male participants explained that any money would taint the gift they had given. I argue that sperm donors faced particular challenges to incorporating payment within a gift narrative for two key reasons: first, sperm donors relied on a discourse of \u2018pure altruism\u2019, including absolute opposition between gifts and market exchange, in order to present their donation as other\u2010oriented. In contrast, egg donors were also able to mobilise a discourse of relational giving to present their donations as a personal gift. Second, according to a continued stereotype of sperm donors as financially motivated students, their payments have already been culturally earmarked as side\u2010line earnings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1467-9566.12718","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,24]],"date-time":"2018-03-24T23:56:23Z","timestamp":1521935783000},"page":"702-717","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Toxic money or paid altruism: the meaning of payments for identity\u2010release gamete donors"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Leah","family":"Gilman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Social Sciences University of Manchester UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1525\/9780520950221"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1257\/jep.21.3.3"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-9566.2009.01171.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","volume-title":"Directive 2004\/23\/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on Setting Standards of Quality and Safety for the Donation, Procurement, Testing, Processing, Preservation, Storage and Distribution of Human Tissues and Cells","author":"EU","year":"2004"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1023486611891"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1093\/oso\/9780195076509.001.0001","volume-title":"Spare Parts: Organ Replacement in American Society","author":"Fox R.","year":"1992"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.ki.5000262"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2004.01.015"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijnurstu.2008.03.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-9566.2005.00433.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0277-9536(93)90308-Q"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_13_1","volume-title":"Bodily Exchanges, Bioethics and Border Crossing: Perspectives on Giving","author":"Haimes E.","year":"2015"},{"issue":"8","key":"e_1_2_12_14_1","first-page":"1199","article-title":"Eggs, ethics and exploitation?","volume":"34","author":"Haimes E.","year":"2012","journal-title":"Investigating women's experiences of an egg sharing scheme, Sociology of Health & Illness"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-9566.2006.00492.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7208\/chicago\/9780226322384.001.0001"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_17_1","unstructured":"HFEA.
