Oocyte donation has played an increasingly important role in assisted reproductive technologies since the early 1980s. Over the past 30 years, unique legal standards have evolved to address issues in the oocyte donation procedure itself as well as the disputes over issues, such as parentage, that inevitably arise with new technologies, particularly for individuals seeking to build nontraditional families. This essay will explore oocyte donation's legal aspects as well as seminal law concerning the procedure, including statutory law (uniform and model provisions and enacted state laws) and selected judicial opinions concerning surrogacy and parentage, testing of oocyte donors, mix-ups of donated oocytes, and donor compensation.

Objectives: The Bioethics Law of August 2nd, 2021 established access to origins for people conceived by gamete donation. Two years after the implementation of this disposition, what is the proportion of former gamete donors informed about access to origins, and what is their position on this matter? What could be the potential repercussions of this new law on them? .
Methods: Retrospective single-center cohort study using questionnaires Results: When former gamete donors were asked about access to origins, only 53 % of oocytes donors and 71 % of sperm donors were aware of this measure.

Purpose: To compare the efficacy of modified natural cycle (mNC) preparation versus hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for endometrial preparation in recipients of donated oocytes, specifically focusing on pregnancy rates in women of advanced maternal age.
Methods: Retrospective multicenter analysis conducted between 2021 and 2024. It includes 220 cycles of fresh single blastocyst transfers resulting from oocyte donation.
Do directed and non-directed oocyte donors differ regarding their motives, ambivalence, satisfaction and openness about donating?

Research Question: Do directed oocyte donors differ from non-directed identity-release oocyte donors regarding pre-donation motives and ambivalence, and post-donation satisfaction and openness?
Design: The study is part of the longitudinal Swedish Study on Gamete Donation where consecutive samples of identity-release gamete donors at seven Swedish University Hospitals were approached during a 3-year period (2005-2008). The participants of the current study were 16 women who donated oocytes to family members or friends (directed donation) and 123 women who donated to unknown recipients (non-directed donation). Survey data on motivation, ambivalence, post-donation satisfaction and openness were collected at five time points between acceptance as a donor and 14-17 years post-donation.
Genetic study on candidates for oocyte donation.

Objective: There is a rising demand for assisted reproductive medicine, including sperm, oocyte and embryo donation. Besides medical and legal considerations, genetic testing, including carrier screening for multiple autosomal and X-linked recessive disorders plays an essential role in evaluating hereditary risk among donors and therefore exclude them from the donation process.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on oocyte donors from a private clinic of assisted reproduction who underwent genetic testing between June 2014 and September 2023.
