Requirements for Embryo Donation
through the National Embryo Donation Center when your embryos are
stored at ReproTech, Ltd.
It is important for you to contact ReproTech, Ltd. (RTL) first prior
to making any arrangements to donate your embryos. RTL is able
to assist you in determining which programs your embryos may qualify
for, as well as eliminate unnecessary or duplicate steps which may
occur if RTL is not "in the loop" from the
beginning.
RTL has a good working relationship
with the NEDC and has helped to facilitate numerous transfers of
embryos to their facility to await qualification for donation.
Embryo donors are required to complete a notarized Authorization to Specimen
Transfer and Medical Information release prior to the release of the
embryos to National Embryo Donation Center (NEDC).
The NEDC will require completion of
(among other consents) a three-generation medical/genetic history, a consent to donate,
and additional blood testing.
Additional fees may be assessed by RTL if the donor embryos are not shipped within 30
days of the end of your current prepaid storage period. Those
fees are assessed at the rate of $106 per quarter, which is the
minimum storage period offered by RTL.
