Third Party Reproduction

The phrase “third party reproduction” refers to the use of eggs, sperm or embryos that have been donated by a third person (donor) to enable an individual (intended recipient) or a couple to become parents.

For women and men who are unable to use their own eggs or sperm, those who want to parent without a partner and same sex couples, pregnancy may be achieved using donor eggs and/or donor sperm. Certain genetic conditions may also necessitate using donor eggs and/or donor sperm.

Donors may be known or anonymous to the intended recipient, and third party reproduction can result in a woman being able to carry her own baby or may involve a gestational carrier (surrogate), who will carry the baby to term for the hopeful parents.
