Legal framework and considerations
- AI: Unknown
- NI: Not Recognized
- Sperm donor agreement: Unknown
Chile channels assisted reproduction mainly through clinical frameworks and civil filiation. Same-sex marriage reforms improved formal parental equality, but informal known-donor arrangements lack a robust public donor non-parentage safe harbor like California Fam. Code § 7613.
- Clinic pathways are clearer for documentation.
- Informal AI risks biology-based filiation in disputes; NI is ordinary conception risk.
- Agreements help as evidence; plan recognition/adoption for non-genetic intended parents.

Practical checklist
- Confirm whether any donor-exemption rule requires a licensed clinic or physician.
- Do not treat NI as “donation” unless local statute expressly says so.
- Use written pre-conception intent documents—and still plan court/registration steps for non-genetic parents.
- Complete STI/genetic screening; medical safety ≠ legal non-parentage.
- Get advice from a lawyer licensed in the relevant jurisdiction before conception.
