The eligibility criteria for recipients of embryo donation can vary depending on the regulations and guidelines of the country and fertility clinic. Here are some general considerations regarding potential recipients of embryo donation:
Infertility: Embryo donation is often considered for
individuals or couples who are unable to conceive using their own eggs and
sperm due to various factors such as infertility, advanced age, or certain
medical conditions.
Same-sex couples: Same-sex couples, both male and female,
may opt for embryo donation as a means of having a biological child. In the
case of same-sex male couples, a gestational surrogate would also be required.
Genetic disorders: Individuals or couples who have a high
risk of passing on genetic disorders or have a history of recurrent pregnancy
loss may choose embryo donation to avoid passing on those conditions.
Previous unsuccessful fertility treatments: Individuals or
couples who have undergone multiple unsuccessful fertility treatments or in
vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles using their own gametes may explore embryo
donation as an alternative.
Medical conditions: Some individuals or couples may have
medical conditions or circumstances that make conception challenging or risky,
and they may consider embryo donation as a way to achieve pregnancy.
Consent and legal requirements: Recipients of embryo
donation typically need to meet the legal and consent requirements of the
specific jurisdiction where the donation is taking place.
