项目应制定并执行书面政策，解决无人认领胚胎的指定、保留和处置问题。在没有特定计划政策的情况下，如果自与个人或夫妇接触以来已经过了一段合理的时间，则在道德上允许计划或设施将胚胎视为无人认领;已按照同意书中所述的努力与个人或夫妇联系;并且没有来自个人或夫妇的关于处置的书面指示。在这种情况下，程序或设施可以通过将其从存储中取出并解冻而不转移来处理无人认领的胚胎。在没有具体书面说明的情况下，无人认领的胚胎不得捐赠给他人用于生殖或用于研究。该声明取代了美国生殖医学会伦理委员会2013年发布的文件“废弃胚胎的处置”。(C)2021年，美国生殖医学会（American Society for Reproductive Medicine）
Programs should create and enforce written policies addressing the designation, retention, and disposal of unclaimed embryos. In the absence of program-specific policies, it is ethically permissible for a program or facility to consider embryos to have been unclaimed if a reasonable period of time has passed since contact with an individual or couple; efforts as outlined in the consent form have been made to contact the individual or couple; and no written instructions from the individual or couple with dispositional control exist concerning disposition. In such cases, programs or facilities may dispose of unclaimed embryos by removing them from storage and thawing without transfer. In the absence of specific written instructions, unclaimed embryos may not be donated to others for reproductive use or be used in research. This statement replaces the American Society for Reproductive Medicine Ethics Committee document "Disposition of Abandoned Embryos'' published in 2013.
