Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) utilizes human sperm, eggs, or embryos in vitro to induce pregnancy; how-ever, there is no evidence of community acceptance of these technologies. A systematic review and meta-analysisfound that 38.63% of infertile couples had positive attitudes toward donor eggs, while 33.20% and 31.34% had nega-tive attitudes. Females are more amenable to accepting donor gametes, embryos, or eggs than males, and femalesare more amenable to accepting donor eggs than donor sperm. To improve attitudes toward donor conception,infertile couples must understand the medical and obstetric risks associated with donor-assisted conception. Thisreview recommends strengthening counseling for infertile couples and offering support to those with negative atti-tudes toward donor conception. Regulatory bodies and policymakers should consider the needs of infertile couplesand modify their rules to ensure minimum standards for ethical and safe practices of donor conception as a treatmentfor infertility
