|Permitted and regulated practices=* Sperm and egg donation are practiced. (However, note there are no sperm banks in Chile, and donated sperm is sent from abroad.)
* Article 182 of the Chilean civil code provides that “the father and the mother of a child conceived through the application of assisted human reproductive technology are the man and women who committed to it.” [2]
|Regulatory activities=
|Accountability and governance=* In 1985 the Chilean Ministry of Health published "Rules Applicable to in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer." [3] The rules do not have legal force and may serve as guidelines. The rules establish general steps for IVF and suggest that all created embryos should be transferred to the mother and cryopreservation (freezing) is not permitted. 
* Many clinics follow the ethical standards set by the Latin American Network of Assisted Reproduction in 1995. These standards provide that gamete donation must be uncompensated. [4]
* Others follow criteria defined by the American Fertility Society and European Society of Fertility. [5]
