Semen discarded if single did not get the donor’s consent – Metro

There is already a shortage of donated sperm and soon, the demand increase as it becomes legally with assisted reproduction even for single women.

But donors must give their consent to the sperm used for single, making sperm stocks may be reduced.

– We will get destroy material if a donor does not wish to participate. We can not have donors agree on one kind of treatment for our patients, but not the other. We can never keep track of, says Ann Thurin Kjellberg, consultant in reproductive medicine at Sahlgrenska University Hospital.

On the Sahlgrenska these are about 30 or so donors.

– I do not think there will be no problems getting hold of them and the majority probably have no objection, says Ann Thurin Kjellberg.
