Doação de espermatozoides
Como funciona?
Sperm donation is a procedure within the framework of medically assisted reproduction techniques, in which a man voluntarily and altruistically donates sperm samples.
Sperm donation is benevolent and unpaid. However, according to Portuguese law, donors are entitled to financial compensation (corresponding to 10% of the current year's IAS) for reimbursement of expenses incurred or for compensation for losses resulting from the donation.
The compensation is distributed as follows:
- €40 after each collection;
- The remaining €11 from each collection is paid later after the quarantine period.
It is advisable that, throughout their lifetime, each male donor should not be the origin of live births in more than 8 families.

Qual o contexto legal da doação de espermatozoides?
Portuguese law mandates confidentiality. Recipients of the donation do not have access to any identifying information about the donor.
However, Law No. 48/2019, of July 8th, establishes that, from the age of 18, children born using donated gametes may obtain information about the donor's civil identity.
It is also important to note that gamete donors have no parental rights or obligations over children born from their donation; that is, donors can never be considered the parents of the child born.
