Arrangements and techniques for giving, storing or carrying eggs, sperm and embryos, including sperm, egg and embryo donation, surrogacy, egg and embryo freezing, semen cryopreservation, fertility preservation and posthumous sperm retrieval. An entry belongs here when its own source describes donating, freezing or carrying reproductive material. It excludes the treatments that use that material. Each member is a reproductive and fertility treatment entry that the atlas covers as a subject in its own right, placed here on what its cited article says it is and how it is used, never on its name alone.
