Making informed choices: Legal considerations for sperm donation

This month’s Ask the Expert session focuses on the important topic of understanding your legal rights when it comes to sperm donation. Together, we’ll explore key areas including legal parentage and consent, types of fertility treatment such as surrogacy and donor conception, and the agreements and patient rights that shape these pathways.

 

Anest Mathias, Associate Solicitor, TV Edwards, will guide you through what the law says about who is recognised as a legal parent, how consent and donor agreements work, and what protections are in place for intended parents, donors, and children. We’ll also look at how these legal considerations fit within broader fertility treatments and what to keep in mind before starting your journey.

 

Whether you’re considering sperm donation, exploring fertility options, or simply wanting to understand the legal framework behind assisted reproduction, this session offers expert insight, clear guidance, and the opportunity to ask your own questions in a supportive, informative environment.
