Embryo Protection Act (ESchG)

In the Embryo Protection Act of 1990, the German legislator established the legal framework for reproductive medicine, thereby regulating the conscientious handling of emerging human life. For the safety of patients, for example, it is stipulated that only trained physicians may work in in vitro fertilization. In Germany, in IVF treatment, the knowing fertilization of more than three eggs, the donation of eggs and sperm to third parties, and surrogate motherhood are prohibited. Experiments with embryos, some of which are permitted in other countries, are also strictly prohibited in Germany.
