[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP: i'm not the OP, but I'm interested in your comments above. I didn't realize some places won't facilitate donation of embryos created from donors. Are they concerned about the legality? I have definitely seen on one of the websites (Miracles Waiting, maybe?) embryos created from donor gametes.[/quote]

It has to do with screening of the providers of the egg and sperm.

A quick Google pulled this up (along with the fact that such donations is banned in Australia) but I can't vouch for its veracity:

Before donated cryopreserved embryos created after May 25, 2005 can be transferred to the recipient, federal law now requires that, if possible, an eligibility determination be made regarding the providers of the egg and sperm used to make the embryos. If the embryos have not been frozen (as occasionally occurs when patients undergoing IVF donate remaining embryos to another couple during their fresh cycle, rather than cryopreserving them), a donor eligibility determination is mandatory. [Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products (HCT/Ps); Donor Screening and Testing, and Related Labeling; Interim Final Rule]. The donor eligibility determination process focuses on screening and testing for "relevant communicable disease agents and diseases" (i.e., those which can be transmitted through use of a particular type of HCT/P).[/quote]
