Abstract

Innovative public health interventions use embryo research as part of a commitment towards personalized and regenerative medicine. Such research depends on citizens donating embryos. The decision tends to be emotionally and morally challenging. The objective of the present study was to estimate the prevalence of in vitro fertilization (IVF) couples donating embryos for scientific research according to psychosocial characteristics of women and men.
