Embryo donation is an incredible path to parenthood, offering hope to those who may not have other options. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Paula Amato, a reproductive endocrinologist and professor at Oregon Health & Science University, to discuss her personal and professional experiences with embryo donation. Dr. Amato shares her unique perspective as both a fertility doctor and someone who has gone through the process herself.

We talk about the medical and ethical considerations of embryo donation, who it can benefit, and how families can navigate this journey. Dr. Amato also discusses the emotional aspects of embryo donation, including what it means for donors and recipients, and how transparency can play a role in shaping the future of donor-conceived children.

In this episode, we cover:

Dr. Paula Amato’s professional background and personal connection to embryo donation
The medical, ethical, and legal aspects of embryo donation
Who embryo donation can help and what the process involves
Emotional considerations for both donors and recipients
The role of transparency and disclosure in donor-conceived families
The future of embryo donation in reproductive medicine
