RESOLVE, ASRM Applaud FDA Changes to Donating Eggs and Embryos

RESOLVE, along with the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) and the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technologies (SART), lobbied FDA to make needed changes to these proposed regulations. The new regulations now allow egg and embryo donors to be tested for infectious diseases up to 30 days prior to the use of the donated tissue, and adds an exemption from screening for donors of previously cryopreserved (frozen) embryos, allowing couples who completed infertility treatment to donate their frozen embryos to another infertile couple, even though they did not undergo screening.
