What to do if I want to conceive with eggs or sperm from a family member?

The donation of eggs or sperm by a family member is known as inter-family donation. It provides a genetic link between the recipient and the child (unlike conception with arms-length donated eggs or sperm), which can be an important driving factor in some cases.

To prevent consanguinity (incest), there are legal restrictions as to the mixing of eggs and sperm between close relatives. However, inter-family donation is permissible in some cases at UK fertility clinics.

Conception through inter-family donation creates a range of medical, legal, emotional, financial and practical issues which you will want to consider carefully. The close family relationship can add a further layer of complexity to the process that requires sensitive and careful management.

We can provide you with expert legal advice on inter-family egg and sperm donation law in the UK and its application internationally, donor information law and practice, and fertility treatment law in the UK with donated gametes.
