Frequently Asked Questions About Third-Party Reproduction
Third-party reproduction involves using donor eggs, sperm, embryos, or a gestational carrier to help individuals or couples achieve pregnancy. It is an option for those who cannot conceive using their own eggs or sperm.
Third-party reproduction may be considered by individuals or couples facing infertility, those with genetic concerns, single parents by choice, and LGBTQ+ couples building a family.
The gestational carrier process involves selecting a carrier, creating embryos through IVF, and then transferring an embryo to the carrier’s uterus. The carrier has no genetic connection to the child, as the embryo is created from the intended parents' or donors' eggs and sperm.
Egg or sperm donors provide genetic material to help individuals or couples conceive. Donors undergo medical and genetic screening to ensure health and compatibility, and may be selected through a clinic or donor agency.
Yes, legal considerations are important in third-party reproduction. Contracts are typically established to define parental rights, responsibilities, and the rights of donors or carriers. Legal support ensures clarity and protection for all parties involved.
