What is the procedure to donate sperms?

Answer 1

Hi,

Below is the solution for your issue with the Donation of the Sperms.

Sperm donation is the practice by which a man gives or more commonly sells his semen to be used specifically to produce a baby. A man who donates sperm, a sperm donor, usually does so at a clinic known as a sperm bank. A recipient of donated sperm may use such a service for many reasons. The most common reasons are that the recipient's partner may be infertile or he may carry a genetic disease. Donor sperm is also used when a single woman who wishes to become a parent doesn't have a male partner or when a lesbian couple chooses to have a baby. The cost of donor sperm in the United States ranges from around $200 - $3,000 per vial unit of semen, usually a quantity of around 0.7 ml.

Process:

A sperm donor usually enters into a contract to sell his sperm and is often required to donate for a specified contractual minimum period of time ranging from six to twenty four months. To donate sperm a man must generally meet specific requirements regarding age and medical history. In the United States, sperm banks are regulated as Human Cell and Tissue or Cell and Tissue Bank Product (HCT/Ps) establishments by the FDA. Many states also have regulations in addition to those imposed by the FDA. A man generally donates sperm at a clinic by way of masturbation. Most establishments at which sperm is donated stock pornography to assist the donor in reaching orgasm.

Donors:

The majority of sperm donors are young men between the ages of 18-25 who donate for the financial incentive. However in later life, many donors have become concerned and curious to know about their genetic offspring who might have resulted as a result of their donations. Many people born as a result of a sperm donation are also very interested in finding out more information about their biological fathers and their missing paternal family.

Despite efforts to limit the number of offspring from any one man, some donors have been known to donate at several different sperm banks as well as privately via the internet. One man in a posting on a website called the DonorSiblingRegistry.com claimed to have fathered at least 650 children via sperm donation. The concern about any man fathering so many children is twofold. That rare, recessive, disease causing genes will find common expression in future generations and that there might be unrealised consanguinity. There are few studies regarding the health of donor offspring. However, two factors are known. 1. That there is a higher prevalence of autism in donor offspring. The reason for this is unknown but could be related to the fact that more less socially involved people tend to donate. 2. That when a donor is dishonest about his genetic problems a very large number of children can be affected. Because a donor can easily father fifty children in a year, if he has an unusual disorder the prevalence of that disorder can quickly erupt.

Besides the men who donate to a sperm bank there are also men who altruistically donate on a private basis to females, often lesbians and single women for the purpose of achieving pregnancy through artificial insemination. Such men are usually referred to as 'known sperm donors'. Such informal arrangements are becoming increasingly popular and there are many websites facilitating such private arrangements.

Regulation and donor tracking
The laws regarding sperm donation vary greatly depending on jurisdiction. Sperm donor and recipient are usually anonymous to each other. However, a recipient may receive non-identifying details about the donor such as height, weight, hair colour and education. Recently the law in certain countries has given rights to people conceived through sperm donation to access varying levels of information about their biological father, sometimes even his identity. However, throughout North America donors are usually anonymous.

In Australia and the United Kingdom, national registries have been established to try and match people to their donors and half siblings via DNA matching. In the USA there is a very successful web-based registry called the Donor Sibling Registry (http://www.donorsiblingregistry.com) which has helped to facilitate more than 2,600 matches between people who share genetic ties -- offspring, half-siblings and donors -- through the unique donor identity numbers assigned by the sperm banks to the donors. Meetings between donors and their offspring and between half-siblings have in general been extremely successful and are becoming increasingly common occurrences.

However, even sperm donors who have not initiated contact through a registry are now increasingly being traced by their offspring. In the current era there can be no such thing as guaranteed anonymity. Through the advent of DNA testing and internet access to extensive databases of information, one sperm donor has recently been traced. In 2005 it was revealed (3-Nov-05 New Scientist Magazine) that an enterprising 15-year-old used information from a DNA test and the internet to identify and contact his genetic father, who was a sperm donor. This has brought into question the ability of sperm donors to stay anonymous.

Many donor-conceived people point out that although a man might have been a sperm donor to their mother and social father, that man is not a donor to them -- rather he is their biological father. Hence, the term 'donor' is not an appropriate description in the context of discussing a donor's conceived relationship to their immediate male ancestor. More accurate terms to use are biological father, genetic father, abdicated father and male progenitor.

The morality and ethics of sperm donation can cause much heated debate. Despite these issues, many people justify sperm donation as morally acceptable because it enables some who otherwise would not be able to conceive to have children.

There are two types of donors: known and anonymous. Using a known donor means that you will ask someone you know to donate their sperm for you to use. Using an anonymous donor is more common and refers to obtaining your sperm from a bank. You will not know the name, address or any other identifying details of the donor.
Sperm donors are usually men between the ages of 18 and 35. To be a donor, a man must be healthy with no known hereditary, genetic disease or any serious disability. Men who are or have been drug users or those who are HIV positive are not suited to become donors.

Some sperm banks enter into a contract with the donor according to which he has to donate sperms for a specific period, anywhere from six to 24 months. The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) is the governing body in UK that regulates all the activities of sperm banks and fertility centres. Once a donor registers with a sperm bank, it is essential that the HFEA be given his details.

Sperm banks check a donor’s background and medical history. His habits, physical characteristics, and family history are carefully noted to help in future matching with recipients.

The donor also has to go through a number of tests like, the HIV and syphilis tests, tests to check for infections like gonorrhoea, and blood tests to reveal his blood group & Rh type. This is required to ensure his complete fitness and make sure that the recipient or the child are not in danger of getting any infections from the sperms. A semen sample given by the donor is analysed by the bank as well, to check for the sperm health and sperm count before a donor can be registered.

Usually there is a quarantine phase till which the donor sperm cannot be used, as during this time it is screened and various tests are carried out to check its quality. The length of quarantine is usually about six months.

Do you mean informally? Ejaculate into a small clean jar, keep at room temperature and make sure it is used soon, preferably within 2 hours. The recipient can use a syringe (no needle) or pipette or medicine dropper to insert it.
It's more complicated if you go through a doctor. There will be medical tests to make sure you have no STDs.
