All of our sperm donors are recruited locally and from universities and colleges and are between the ages of 18 and 45. Most are undergraduate and graduate students, some are professionals. They voluntarily contribute to help infertile patients to have healthy children. Our sperm donor requirements are very strict and only the best candidates are accepted to the program. Less than 10% of the applicants are eventually accepted as contributing sperm donors.

Potential sperm donors possessing pleasant and acceptable physical features undergo extensive screening. This includes, but is not limited to, character and personality evaluation, genetic testing, fertility assessment, physical examination and infectious disease testing. This is to try to prevent any potential infections and genetic conditions from being transmitted to either the recipient(s) or any children conceived. Once accepted into the sperm donor program, the health status of the applicant is continually re-assessed. Semen samples from screened sperm donors will be quarantined for a minimum of 180 days and released only after re-testing of the sperm donor for the required infectious disease screening. Donors are required to undergo rigorous medical assessment and blood testing.

Donor Matching Consultations

Donor matching is to help with the selection process. This optional program involves matching ABO group, RH factor & physical characterises of the client, husband, family member or other individual with that of donor.

The sperm donor database provides information on current donors such as their race, ethnicity, blood type, physical characteristics and attributes as well as educational and occupational achievements. We make every attempt to ensure the confidentiality of this procedure and the anonymity of the sperm donors. Please be sure to know the donor code when ordering vials or requesting information.

Sperm Donor Rights

The identity of the donor shall remain anonymous. The clients have no right to learn the identity of the donor or solicit donor identifying information from any other source. The donor shall also be free from any responsibility to the biological offspring produced by his sperm.

Client Rights

The clients have the right to be informed of the limitations and potential complications involved with sperm donation. Sperm donation is not always successful and multiple treatments might have to be performed. Also, the sperm bank cannot completely guarantee that the sperm they provide is disease free or free of genetic abnormalities. Although genetic testing and disease screening techniques are advanced and sensitive, they are not fool proof. The client also must understand that she/he is fully responsible for the offspring conceived by use of the specimens.

Sperm donor and client rights are usually established via an informed consent form that is signed by the client and verified by the client's doctor. This form ensures that the client understands his/her rights and the rights of the sperm donor. The principle of informed consent is based on the principles of scientific and medical ethics.
