According to the current legislation, sperm donation may, at the donor’s choice, be anonymous or non-anonymous and in the second case, either his details be disclosed from the beginning or be disclosed to the child after he/she reaches adulthood, if the latter requests it.
If the donor selects anonymity, medical information concerning him is kept in a confidential file without any indication of his identity. Access to this file is only allowed to the child and for reasons related to his/her health. The donor is protected against any claim of recognition of paternity, as well as against all rights arising there from. However, in no case the identity of the recipients, as well as that of the child or children born through the process of using donor sperm, are disclosed to the donor of the reproductive material.
Gamete donation between relatives is allowed only between collateral relatives and applies to blood relatives of the same sex.
Donor screening is performed according to the same legal requirements for all types of donors.
