Donor egg IVF in India

60-second summary

Donor egg IVF uses eggs from a young, healthy woman when a woman's own eggs cannot give a pregnancy. In India, the ART Act 2021 sets clear rules to protect donors, recipients and children. Many couples have a baby this way, and talking openly with each other and with your child helps the whole family.
