Adult children conceived via sperm donation may request information about the donor from the EAZW. The following charts show, for example, how many births result from sperm donation and whether donors agree to make contact.
Since the Reproductive Medicine Act came into force in 2001, anonymous sperm donation has been prohibited in Switzerland. The donor’s personal details, health status at the time of donation and physical appearance are recorded. When a birth occurs, this information is reported to the Federal Office for Civil Registration (EAZW).
The graphics were developed by taglab GmbH.
