Overview
- The Bioethics Law of 2021 now grants individuals born from gamete donations access to identifying and non-identifying donor information upon reaching adulthood.
- Anonymous donor gametes frozen before September 2022 are no longer eligible for new births but may be repurposed for research or destroyed by individual centers.
- A transitional phase allowed the use of older anonymous gametes until March 30, 2025, leading to over 200 pregnancies by the end of 2024.
- The removal of anonymity has not deterred donations, with sperm donor registrations rising to over 1,000 in 2024, a significant increase from 676 in 2023.
- A new stock of 100,000 gamete samples, created under transparency rules, ensures sufficient supply for two years of assisted reproduction treatments.
