Donor sperm and egg

Donor sperm and eggs are reproductive cells provided by individuals who are not the intended parents. Sperm donors typically contribute sperm for insemination, while egg donors provide eggs for fertilization. This process is often used by couples facing infertility, same-sex couples, or single individuals wanting to conceive. Sperm and egg donors undergo medical screenings to ensure their health. The resulting embryos can be used through procedures like in vitro fertilization (IVF). Donor gametes help create families, offering hopeful parents the chance to have biological children when they might not be able to do so otherwise.
