The Swiss government has announced plans to legalize egg donation, a move aimed at addressing the challenges faced by couples struggling with infertility.

Currently, Swiss women must travel abroad for egg donations, often to countries where the process is anonymous, leaving children unable to trace their genetic origins.

The proposed changes to the reproductive medicine law will allow both married and unmarried couples to access egg and sperm donations, reflecting modern social realities.

The government emphasizes the importance of protecting donors and ensuring the well-being of children born through these methods.

Critics, however, raise concerns about potential exploitation of women and the ethical implications of the procedure.

A draft law is expected by the end of 2026, marking a significant shift in Switzerland's approach to assisted reproduction.
