BEFORE YOU VIOLATE ME ... I want you to know this is a SERIOUS QUESTION!!!
See I am in the USMC and I am currently in Iraq. My wife and I don't have any children and now that I am here I am really thinking of having them. I have been here for less than a month and I have talked to her about possibly sending my sperm to her. Before I left I thought there would be time and now I am kind of worried there won't be any ... She has agreed but I have some questions that I really don't want to ask anybody in person!
1. Is it legal to send human sperm through the mail?
2. How long does sperm last outside of the body and when not in another person? Also at what tempertarure should it be kept at to preserve it for 24 hours?
3. I was thinking of using a prescription bottle to place the sperm in and then put it in a cooler with dry ice (yes, I actually know where to get dry ice here). Then place it in a box and mail it next day (24hour); will this work? If not do you know of a better way

First, you should realize it will probably take weeks to get to her, not 24 hours. The military is horrid about getting things out quickly from the war zone. So just wait till you can go home and do it naturally. I understand ya'll wanting a kid, but its too late now. Watch your butt, come home to her safe, then have lots of fun making the kid.
Without help, sperm can only survive 30 minutes outside your body. If you seriously want to do this, you need to talk to a doctor or something. And you both need to realize that 1 try may not be enough. Like any conception, it could take months or years to get pregnant. That is alot of extra stress on both of you when you are already in a stressful situation and she's got her hands full trying to cope without you home and in harms way daily.

You could probably pull this off if you know how to do it. Do they add anything to semen before they freeze it? If so, so must you. If the package is well insulated, well designed and includes dry ice, it should last longer than 24 hours. Much longer. Include a thermometer and tell your wife that if it doesn't arrive completely frozen, throw it out. You don't want to risk using damaged sperm. Use plenty of styrofoam and foil. Layers and layers. A small block of ice in the middle (allowed to reach temp of dry ice). Is it legal? Who cares, you're not sending dope. Someone asked me about legality of something I sent and I told them that I just did the best I could and hummed "Important Exportin' Man" by the New Riders of the Purple Sage as I wrapped it up. Good luck and thanks, man.

Outside the body, sperm can only live for a few hours. Plus, the sperm will have to go through extreme temperature in order to get to your wife, so it is highly unlikely that any sperm would be alive.
Also, freezing sperm will kill them. If it's easy to freeze and unfreeze a living thing, many people would have thought of it.
Sorry bud.

The sperm would die before they reached her unless you freeze them, and you wouldn't be able to keep something frozen through the mail, unless you air mailed it, perhaps, but I'm not even sure if that's possible yet. Sorry.

talk to a medic/doctor in your unit or a unit next door. it will need to go by bio/hazard mail just as if it was a human heart or lung. plus will need to be packed in dry ice, special container, etc.
why be embarrassed? to ensure your blood line continues in the case you might not come home....to me is noble and wise.
