RULES ON UK DONORS AT A LICENSED CENTRE IN THE UK
The
rules on who can be a sperm donor in the UK are very strict, governed
by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) to protect
the recipients, the child and the donor.
Donors must:
- Be between the ages of 18 and 41
- Be willing to be screened for medical conditions
- Have no known serious medical disability or family history of hereditary disorders
- Know (or be able to find out) their immediate family medical history – children, siblings, parents and grandparents
- Agree to be registered with the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) as a donor and be willing to be known to any child born following their donation
- Not put themselves at risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
- Not knowingly leave out any relevant information which could affect the health of any children born as a result of their donation
- Receive implications counselling
- Not receive payment for donating other than compensation for expenses (up to £35 per clinic visit)
- Only donate to up to 10 families
