Sperm Donors
British IVF clinics are suffering from an acute shortage of donor sperm. According to experts, the reason for this situation was adopted last year a law that "children from the tube" on of age have the right to disclose the identity of their biological fathers. In the course of investigative journalism reporters interviewed 74 employees of the British private clinics who treat infertility. Employees of 50 medical institutions say about the complete absence or severe shortage of supplies of donor sperm. Representatives of one of the sperm banks have reported a sharp fall in new acquisitions donated sperm and the fall of the number of donors. In general, currently in Britain, there are 169 registered donors of sperm, when previously the number of donors was 469.
With 90% of registered donors to serve only 10% operating in the UK clinics. Secretary of the British Society of artificial insemination Pesi Dr. Allan (Allan Pacey) has described the situation as a crisis. "We do not have enough men who are willing to become donors without anonymity, and we can not import donor sperm from abroad because of too stringent restrictions. Thus, we lose the opportunity to treat patients needing donor sperm.
Unfortunately, Many of them will be left without medical assistance, which would mean the end of the donor therapy in its present value. " – Says Pesi. A law abolishing the right of donors to lifelong anonymity, was adopted in the UK Last year, at the insistence of non-governmental organizations representing the interests of people conceived through artificial insemination of donor sperm. According to supporters of the law, "the children of the vials" should have equal the rights of adopted children who have a legitimate right to know who were their parents. Currently in the UK a child conceived through artificial insemination, may require disclosure of the identity of its biological father after reaching adulthood.
