Gamete Donation

Gamete donation involves providing sperm or eggs to assist individuals or couples who are unable to conceive naturally. Donors undergo screening to ensure they are healthy and free of genetic disorders. The donated gametes can be used in assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), to help create embryos. This process supports various family-building options, including LGBTQ+ families and those facing infertility. Donors often remain anonymous, although some jurisdictions allow for known donations, where the donor and recipient can establish a relationship if desired. Gamete donation plays a crucial role in modern reproductive health.
