Abstract
Huele and colleagues started a debate on the comparison between embryo donation and double donation. Although I largely agree with their final conclusion, I believe that the perspective of the recipients needs to be added to get a more complete picture. The present contribution focuses on that perspective and advances other arguments to balance the two methods. The main argument in favour of double donation is the difference in perceived meaning for the recipients compared to surplus embryos. The main arguments in favour of embryo donation are the fair distribution of scarce resources (i.e. donor gametes) and the principle of non-maleficence through the avoidance of unnecessary oocyte donation cycles. The balance would be to put both treatments on an equal footing.
