تبني الأجنة

Adoption of embryos refers to the fertility treatment where a woman is implanted with embryos from an anonymous donor. When eggs are “harvested” the biological mother undergoing an assisted reproduction treatment does not always receive all the embryos obtained. This leaves a surplus of embryos which under the law must be properly frozen and stored. The options are then: implant them into the same woman (if she subsequently wants to try to get pregnant again), destroy them, donate them for research or donate them to other patients. If a woman decides to donate her embryos, other couples with reproductive problems may benefit. In such cases, medical specialists typically seek physically similar anonymous donors to prospective recipient parents.
