He said woman may be subjected to more invasive and expensive techniques if poor-quality sperm were used.

There are thought to have been fewer sperm donors after the right to anonymity was removed in 2005.

Did Winston Churchill make multiple donations to a sperm bank? I guess not. A true tragedy.

Maybe they need to update the appearance of their night deposit slots.

The right of children conceived by invetro fertilization from a sperm donor to know the donor’s ID certainly has made donation less attractive. There have been stories of children finding their fathers years later.

Human beings are not animals to be bred like pedigree livestock. The whole concept of sperm donation, deliberately creating a child without a father to help raise it, is an abomable crime against that child.
