  Abstract

Embryo donation is now an acceptable practice which offers new possibilities to many infertile couples wishing to procreate. In France, embryo donation, like gamete donation, is controlled by law, but its application has been poorly developed because too many questions remained unsolved and because of the lack of practical guidelines. Here we report the results of the debate which took place within the Genetics Commission of the French Federation of CECOS and the proposed recommendations which followed, emphasizing the genetic background to be considered for embryo donation.

Key words: embryo donation, genetic risks, infertility, genetic guidelines, CECOS
