Some clinics rely on imported sperm to keep up with demand.

However, the BFS chairman, Dr Allan Pacey, said he was "worried" that some clinics may be setting a lower bar to "get donors through the door".

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.

Perhaps the male population should get out of mom’s basement more often?

Some of my classmates helped pay their medical school bills donating plasma and sperm.
Nowadays theyalso pay girls for their eggs.

What? Has the "wank bank" gone bankrupt?

What kind of envelope do you use if you want to bank by mail?

I think the problem they have there are finding REAL MEN.

All they seem left with are a bunch of METROSEXUALS being bossed around by angry, childless, women.

What a history to simply throw in the gutter...

The important part: There are thought to have been fewer sperm donors after the right to anonymity was removed in 2005

Would YOU donate sperm, while unsure if you would get the recipients demanding child support from you a few years from now? Would ANYBODY here?
