Abstract
In this chapter, we focus exclusively on informed consent in sperm banking only with respect to sperm freezing for autologous use. We consider the necessary legal and ethical elements and individuals to be included in this process. We begin by considering the legal and ethical underpinnings of informed consent. We then explore the elements of consent that are necessary for adults preserving sperm followed by a discussion of the unique components of informed consent when a minor’s sperm is being cryopreserved. The chapter concludes with a list of recommended elements to consider in developing an informed consent process for sperm banking for autologous use.
