Ethical Principles
What Makes CARE Unique
CARE does not impose business models. Instead, it empowers professionals to co-create ethical guidelines that are fair, realistic, and respectful of different reproductive journeys — whether medical or social.
Standards and Guidelines
Explore CARE’s Detailed Ethical Framework
Our full ethical standards document offers an in depth explanation of how CARE develops, evaluates, and maintains ethical practices grounded in science, law, and cultural understanding. This resource is designed for professionals, intended parents, and anyone seeking a clearer view of responsible reproductive care.
Fairness & Process
CARE’s ethical guidelines are developed through open dialogue among attorneys, clinicians, agency directors, and cultural advisors. Decisions are based on scientific evidence, legal compliance, and the lived experiences of diverse professionals. Every member is encouraged to contribute insights and participate in the refinement of our standards.
Cultural Understanding
CARE recognizes that reproductive ethics must reflect the needs of an increasingly global community. We promote cultural awareness, language accessibility, and respectful communication across all fertility services, ensuring that no community is overlooked or excluded.
