What is a Sperm Donor?
Typically, a sperm donor is obtained from a sperm bank. Sperm donors undergo considerable medical and genetic testing, and are tested for infectious diseases. Sperm banks keep sperm frozen and quarantined for six months, after which time the donor is re-tested for infectious diseases before being released for use. Donor sperm may be used for insemination or in some of the other methods used to overcome infertility. A consultation with a lawyer is highly recommended so that you understand any rights or responsibilities that a sperm donor might have.
