Psychological Evaluation for Gamete Donors (Egg & Sperm)
Prior to participating in egg or sperm donation, all prospective donors are required to complete a thorough psychological evaluation, in accordance with guidelines from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). This evaluation ensures that donors are making well-informed choices, safeguards their emotional well-being, and identifies any psychological risks.
