Techniques for resolving some types of inherited mitochondrial diseases have
recently been the subject of scientific research, ethical scrutiny, media
coverage and regulatory initiatives in the UK. Building on research using eggs
from a variety of providers, scientists hope to eradicate maternally transmitted
mutations in mitochondrial DNA by transferring the nuclear DNA of a fertilised
egg, created by an intending mother at risk of transmitting mitochondrial
disease, and her male partner, into an enucleated egg provided by another woman.
In this article we examine how egg providers for mitochondrial research and
therapy have been represented in stakeholder debates. A systematic review of key
documents and parliamentary debates shows that the balance of consideration tilts
heavily towards therapeutic egg providers; research egg providers have been
ignored and rendered invisible. However, mapping the various designations of
therapeutic egg providers shows that their role is so heavily camouflaged that
they have only an absent presence in discussions. We explore this puzzling
ambivalence towards egg providers whose contributions are necessary to the
success of current mitochondrial research and proposed therapies. We suggest that
labels that diminish the contributions of egg providers serve certain governance
objectives in managing possible future claims about, and by, therapeutic egg
providers. We demonstrate that the social positioning of research egg providers
is entangled within that of therapeutic egg providers which means that the former
can also never receive their due recognition. This article contributes to the
wider literature on the governance of new technological interventions.
