Abstract
Ovum donation is now an integral part of the management of infertility, providing a solution for patients previously considered permanently infertile. The indications now include not only patients with premature ovarian failure, but also patients who are carriers of genetic disorders, patients with repeated failures in IVF, and patients after surgical castration and after X-ray therapy or chemotherapy. OD is simpler than IVF and has better pregnancy and delivery rates per transfer. Yet this modality of treatment raises serious legal, social, religious, and ethical issues such as the maximal age for treatment and donor selection; these aspects are discussed elsewhere (70).Keywords
