Third-party Reproduction for Infertility
Third party Reproduction
A third party reproduction includes any process where a person apart from intended parents desiring to have a child provides sperm, or eggs, or use of a uterus to help someone else to have a child. For several years, a third party reproduction was restricted to using donor sperm.
