Storage consent

The written consent that governs stored eggs, sperm and embryos.

Canadian law & regulation

Federal law requires written consent from the donors of the reproductive material for the creation, use and disposition of an in vitro embryo, and clinic forms record what happens on separation, incapacity, death or non-payment of storage fees. Review and update your consent whenever your circumstances change.

Also known as: consent forms, embryo consent
