Is sperm banking a good idea for later fathering so that you can have healthier sperm for later babies?

Question

It is interesting how many people who know the risks of autism and schizophrenia and cancers think this is a good idea, but that men will not go for it.

Answer 1

Couldn't hurt. I don't know how long you can freeze sperm for though.
