sperm donor. any1? - 11-23-2010, 02:22 PM

so. yea. sperm donor
has anyone done this? i got the idea after my friend said that he tried to become one. but he didn't since the medical check-up is very hard to pass.

so i got the idea to try it since its totally free way to get great info on your medical status - full blood test and some gene tests also. and if i pass and fate decides to take me quickly i'll be happy knowing that my genes are passed on.

back to point. has anyone hare done it? i know that in some countries there is actually a very nice money reward for that. pity it isn't the case were i live - some 50$ i think if you actually are able to pass the tests...

never done it, don't think I'll ever do it also.

Don't know why, I don't relly have anything against it, it's just the way it is for me!

I give blood though, so I always get a full blood test


Blame the others!

blood donation is one way but it takes far less things into consideration. i would love to know about my genes and all that other stuff not just a list of diseases i don't or do have. blood type i already know and its contents.
it just natural to want to know more about yourself and if i could afford i would order all kinds of tests on me - full physicals, blood, brain scans and my gene tests.
think im probably going over there this week.

I believe that sperm donations have dropped since any progeny can discover who their sperm donor (father) is. Certainly in this country (UK) they have dropped.

considering how many children a sperm donor could produce-- it could be scary having several of your progeny come searching for you.

do you know your family history-- your bloodlines etc. is there any family that you can ask what physical genetics you might well inherit from them. Their general health etc as well as their interests in life.

not all genetic properties are passed down.
im more interested what's in me - is there anything interesting and also is everything ok. i almost never get sick and i dont do check-ups once in a while so who knows whats happened in past years.
well one that i know is that my whole family tree has rather large lifespans for the region.
only just now my great grandmother passed away 97 years old. all of my grandparents are in their 80's and doing well.
P.S in UK they can find you? here its the selling point (and so should it be everywhere) that is completely anonymous. of course if both parties wish to be able later on find each other then they can make a special deal, but i don't think that happens too often.

When you'll have family and children, will you tell them, that they ought to be careful when they're going on a date, because there is a chance, that they have chosen their own half-brothers/sisters? Because if you won't carry the can, you may compromise your own grandchildren' health.

IMO you're making a mistake.

as person who is well aware of how astronomical odds are im not least bit worried.
+ it wasn't so long ago when in villages everyone was sleeping with everyone - only now the gene pool has dramatically increased because of city growth and international travels. and if you take Adam and Eve theory then everyone is sleeping with their brothers and sisters.

and i'm doing this for the tests. no one says i'm going to pass, only small % of donors are actually accepted.

It used to be anonymous, but like Dogs said now its not anonymous at all. The child can very easily find out who their sperm donor is, and yes it's caused a few problems in the past, problems that made their way into the news. There's also no real incentive like in other countries, you don't get cash for donating for example, so why men opt to donate sperm here I'm not too sure. Healthcare here is free too, so there isn't even the fact that you can get free blood tests or physicals (like you mentioned earlier) to entice people into doing it.

I think it wasn't something good back than either(not that I know any of these villages...), and don't pull Adam and Eva into this, incest isn't something you'd take lightly.

On the other hand, you know best, I just tried to give you another point of view.
