What is a Known Donor?
A Known Donor is a term often used for a Directed Donor. Like a Directed Donor a Known Donor is a male who has agreed to have his semen banked who is known by the recipient but is not a sexually intimate partner. Known Donors are required to submit the same health history information and require the same testing as an anonymous donor. Genome Resources can accommodate Directed Donors (see above) but does not have an active Known Donor program.
