As a potential egg, sperm, or embryo donor, I need to understand the HFEA's compensation policy for donations. What is the maximum compensation amount allowed for egg, sperm, and embryo donors in the UK, and what does this compensation cover? Additionally, confirm the age limits for egg and embryo donors.
Navigate to 'hfea.gov.uk'. Click on the 'Donation' link (ID 67). Click on the 'Donors' link (ID 72) within the Donation sub-menu. On the 'Donors' page, locate and click on the 'What compensation is available?' link. Identify the maximum compensation amount for egg, sperm, and embryo donors. Determine what the compensation is intended to cover (e.g., expenses, loss of earnings). Navigate back to the main 'Donors' page or the 'Donating your eggs' and 'Donating your embryos' sections to find the age limits for egg and embryo donors. Synthesize all collected information into a concise answer.
