Survey of attitudes regarding the use of siblings for gamete donation.
We conclude that the acceptability of using a sister for gamete donation is high among couples desiring ovum donation. On the contrary, couples undergoing AID generally rejected the concept of using the husband's brother as a known donor. Thus, although similar in concept, disparity exists regarding the use of siblings for gamete donation. Though the use of sibling gamete donation may provide a short-term solution to the dwindling supply of acceptable gamete donors, the long-term acceptability of such practice remains unknown.
