Assisted human reproduction (AHR) techniques are a means to treat human infertility and promote procreation; however, in certain cases, it is necessary forpeople to donate their gametes (sperm or ovum) to enable the conception of a child of the couple that uses these reproduction techniques. Currently, Peru does not have a single and centralized register of gametes donors or the number of children born through these techniques of reproduction with the genetic material of these donors. It is therefore urgent to determine the need for such a register. This article presents and confronts the need for such a register not onlyfrom the donor’s health point of view, but also, fundamentally, from the violation of the right to identity of those born through these techniques.
