    • Informed consent is crucial for donor autonomy, especially regarding health screening results.
    • Selection processes and motivations of donors present ethical challenges.
    • Anonymity and information sharing create potential conflicts between donors, recipients, and children.

    Conclusions:

    • Balancing the interests of gamete donors, recipients, and offspring is complex.
    • Informed consent, comprehensive counselling, and ethical selection are essential for equitable gamete donation.
    • Addressing issues of anonymity and information is key to managing conflicts of interest.
