Donations are still confidential in the U.S., when done through a medical facility. After the U.K. changed their laws, it was discussed here and rejected. As a result, the U.S. is one of the few countries not needing to ask for help supplying materials for fertility or research. And it is one of the countries were it is legal to pay the donor.

Personally, I object to fertility treatments in general. It's not like the human race is on the verge of extinction, so the only reason for it is emotional and stinks of vile ego issues.

But that does not mean I have any objection to donations. Genetic studies require good samplings and lot of them. And there are enormous benefits from research that have nothing to do with birthing another human on this planet.
