Sperm Donation:
Donating sperm is considered one of the noblest causes a man can undertake. When
the male partner has zilch sperm or his sperm are of low-quality, they need some
other man who is willing to donate sperm which would fuse with eggs of the female
partner to form an embryo. That embryo would be implanted in the womb to produce
a healthy child after 9 months.
Egg Donation:
When female partner is unable to produce eggs due to various reasons like menopause,
premature ovarian failure or age factor, the infertile couple seeks a woman who
would donate eggs in lieu of a sum of money. The eggs are fertilised and implanted
in the womb of the desired mother. Thereafter the children are born in a natural
manner. The desired mother has to undergo two to three sessions of hormonal therapy
before obtaining the eggs from the donor woman. It is called Hormonal Replacement
Technique. This therapy is used to determine whether the womb of a woman is competent
for implantation.
Embryo Donation:
When both the male partner and the female partners are infertile, they opt for embryo
donation. In this, the embryo is developed by fusing the sperm and eggs of the donor
couple and the embryo is implanted in the uterus of female partner. The couple who
are donating the sperm and the eggs undergo a series of tests to determine any medical
ailment or the quality of sperm & eggs.
