Is there a legal age limit to become a parent through assisted reproduction in Spain?

No. Law 14/2006 on ART does not establish an age limit for the application of assisted reproductive techniques in men, as long as the woman is of legal age.

However, in the case of women, there seems to be a widely accepted consensus that assisted reproductive treatments should not be performed on women over 50 years of age. However, there does not seem to be such an agreement in the male case.
