In Quebec, single women, heterosexual couples and homosexual couples can use sperm donation or egg donation to carry out their parental project. The use of gamete donation raises many issues for couples, families and the possible future child, which it is essential to address.
The Assisted Human Reproduction Act of Canada therefore recommends that any person or any couple who must have recourse to a donation of gametes to conceive a child or who wish to donate their gametes, meet with a specialist in order to be supported in their process. and to be informed of the implications of this mode of design. This meeting will allow you, among other things, to make informed decisions concerning, for example, the disclosure to the child of his origins, the circumstances of his conception, the choice of an open identity donor or an anonymous donor, the recourse to a bank or a directed donation, etc.
