The conditions of embryo donation in Iran to infertile couples are carried out according to the law “How to donate embryos to infertile couples” approved in 2012. This law has set special conditions for embryo donors. In the following, we review the conditions of embryo donation for embryo donors in Iran:

  • Donors must be a husband and wife: a man and a woman who intend to donate embryos must be officially married and their marriage must be legally and officially registered.
  • Appropriate age and reproductive status: The male and female donors must be of appropriate age and reproductive status. Donors are usually recommended to be between 20 and 35 years old.
  • Physical and mental health: Donors must have sufficient physical and mental health and do not have any genetic or infectious disease that can be transmitted to the fetus.
  • Not having infectious or genetic diseases: People should not have important genetic or infectious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis, syphilis, and other infectious diseases.

Legal and legal steps of conditions of embryo donation:

  • Official Consent: The donor couple must declare their consent in writing and officially in notary offices. This consent is prepared to avoid future legal problems.
  • Court approval: After the consent is submitted, the family court must approve this consent and the embryo donation is authorized.
  • Medical tests: Embryo donors must undergo extensive medical tests to ensure that the health of the embryos and recipients is guaranteed.

Anonymity of donors:

One of the most important conditions for embryo donation is maintaining the confidentiality and anonymity of the identity of donors and recipients. This is done to protect the rights and privacy of both parties, and their identities are recorded confidentially in infertility treatment centers.

Conditions of the donated embryo:

The embryo that is donated must be the result of fertilization of the egg and sperm of the donor couple. Also, this embryo should be checked and confirmed in terms of genetics and health.

Authorized centers for embryo donation:

Embryo donation should be done through reputable and specialized infertility treatment centers. These centers are responsible for carefully observing all the legal, medical and ethical procedures according to the conditions of embryo donation and ensuring the health of the embryo and the couple.
