Frequent Asked Questions

Are there many differences between countries in terms of assisted reproduction legislation?

Current Spanish legislation, ACT 14/2006, 26 May, on assisted human reproduction techniques provides for total gamete donor anonymity. That is, their identities will never be disclosed. Donation is considered a gift and the donor has no rights to any type of claim regarding paternity.

The legislation also indicates that children born as a result of reproduction treatment using donor gametes (donor semen, egg donation or embryo donation) shall be registered to all effects and purposes as the child of the couple who have undergone the treatment.
