Assisted reproductive technology encompasses a myriad of medical, ethical, moral, emotional, psychological, and religious issues. This is especially true when considering the variety of complex concerns that arise when a patient wishes to be a surrogate or donate her eggs. Informed consent represents a particularly important consideration in the field of assisted reproductive technology. The purpose of this chapter is to identify the most significant ethical and legal issues confronting egg donors and gestational surrogates and offer guidance to medical professionals in a position to communicate relevant information to their patients in order to obtain their informed consent. |
