If an individual providing human oocytes for the purposes of fertility is compensated, and any human oocytes or embryos in excess of those needed for fertility are offered for research, the institutional review board shall disregard the amount of compensation if all of the following conditions are met:
(a) The individual in infertility treatment, after being provided with the necessary disclosures as required for research participants under subdivision (a) of Section 125335, makes the determination that the individual does not want or need the oocytes for their own reproductive success, and provides informed consent to donate the oocytes for medical research.
(b) The procurement and disposition for research purposes of human oocytes that were initially provided for reproductive uses, either for use by the donor or another individual, shall not knowingly compromise the optimal reproductive success of the individual in the infertility treatment.
(c) The infertility treatment protocol is established prior to requesting or obtaining consent for donation for research purposes and the prospect of donation for research does not alter the timing, method, or procedures selected for clinical care.
(d) The clinic performing oocyte retrieval is a member of the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology.
(e) The donation of oocytes for research is done without valuable consideration.
