The donor must sign an informed consent once she has received all the information about the purposes and consequences of the act. Egg donation is anonymous and Law 14/2006 guarantees this confidentiality. However, children born by egg donation have the right to obtain general information from donors that does not include their identity. In addition, this law includes an exception:
In extraordinary circumstances involving a certain danger to the life or health of the child or when appropriate under the Criminal Procedural Laws, the identity of the donors may be disclosed, provided that such disclosure is indispensable to avoid the danger or to achieve the proposed legal purpose.
