What
Is Embryo Donation? |
|
Embryos
were originally created through the Assisted Reproductive
Technologies (ART). In order to minimize multiple pregnancies,
the excess embryos were cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen for
future use. Eventually, a caring and compassionate couple, the
Donating Parents, decided to donate these frozen
embryos. Rather than destroy the embryos or donate them to
science, the Donating Parents thought their cryopreserved
embryos deserved a chance at life and a needy couple a chance
at parenthood.

Why
Embryo Donation here at SRMS? |
|
While
there may be a limited number of programs which perform Embryo
Donation, there are a few reasons you may want to consider
SRMS:
|
- The SRMS Embryo Donation
Program is easily accessible though this web site at no
charge to the recipients. This increases the likelihood
that the embryos will be chosen by qualifying recipients
and find a wonderful home.
- In addition to having a number of embryos
available for donation from our own patients, SRMS will
also accept cryopreserved Donated Embryos from other ART
facilities.
- SRMS does not charge a
"middle-man" fee in the Embryo Donation process,
thereby decreasing the costs to the Embryo Recipient.
- SRMS will allow the Donating Parents to
have their embryos returned upon request, assuming that
they have not already been used.
- SRMS agrees to help all parties keep track
of newly diagnosed genetic problems in the Embryo Donor
family or the Embryo Recipient offspring.
- Florida has excellent legal
statues that protect many sets of circumstances, which
make it a safe haven in which to donate and receive
embryos.
- SRMS has an extraordinarily organized
Embryo Donation Program, which will help to make certain
that all steps of the Embryo Donation
process run smoothly.
- SRMS has a history of being an "Embryo
Advocate" by discussing
the fate of abandoned embryos and trying to change current
standards regarding the automatic disposal of the
abandoned embryo.

Please
keep in mind that we will accept qualifying cryopreserved
donated embryos from other ART programs. All transport and
handling fees will be paid by SRMS. The Donating Parents, at
this time, will not be paid (i.e., "Donation"). If
you know someone who does not want to use their cryopreserved
embryos but does not feel comfortable destroying them or
donating them within their own community, please have them
visit the web site here and consider the SRMS Embryo Donation
Program. Only if word gets out (word-of-mouth & chat
rooms) will SRMS be assured of having enough donated embryos
to meet demand.
Please
spread the word!
