![]() Canadian Embryo Legislation
We have deep concerns regarding this ruling as it could have a chilling effect on the number of people who could be willing to donate eggs, sperm and embryos in Canada. Often times, donors only donate because they are given the promise of privacy in their act of donation. In this case, the "rights" of the offspring trumped the well-established right to privacy of the recipients and the donors. It may force recipients of donated eggs/sperm/embryos to head to the US for care so that they maintain their privacy. For more information, view the Vancouver Sun article. We’d enjoy your thoughts and feedback too, which is available on our Facebook page.![]() ![]() Shows & Sites Visited

Our most recent blog is about the issue of reimbursement for patients who donate embryos for human embryonic stem cell research. Last month we discussed compassionate transfers, and how long do embryos last. These are unusual topics that delve into the motivations of patients with cryopreserved embryos and the difficult decisions they make regarding them. Your comments are always encouraged and certainly welcome. Upcoming blog topics include reasons to consider donating remaining embryos, options for donating and whether or not you’d like to meet the recipient family and others, so please stay tuned. If you have topics you’d like us to discuss, feel free to post a comment on the blog – www.EmbryoDonationBlog.com. ![]() ![]() Recent and Upcoming Online Chats
