from III - Third Party Reproduction: Assessment and Preparation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 November 2022
The egg donor or sperm donor plays a very important role in the reproductive medicine practice. The donor is both a patient and not a patient. He or she is a patient in that he/she must be taken care of both physically and psychologically. He or she is not a patient, in that the donor is not presenting for his/her own treatment. When the gamete donor enters the consultation room, the fertility counselor will be challenged in his/her many different roles and responsibilities which we will identify and discuss in the chapter. In addition, we will highlight key issues in how to prepare for and conduct the clinical interview, the usefulness of, and decision making, regarding psychological testing, how to ensure informed consent can be given, discuss the short- and long-term implications of gamete donation and zoom in on the experience of the gamete donor.
