Sperm donation is the process by which a man donates his sperm for the purpose of artificial insemination or other forms of assisted reproductive technology. The primary purpose of sperm donation is to help individuals or couples who are unable to conceive due to male infertility, lesbian couples, and single women.

Process

The process of sperm donation involves a series of steps. Initially, the potential donor is screened for medical and genetic disorders. This is to ensure the health and safety of both the donor and the recipient. The donor's sperm is then collected, usually through masturbation, and is frozen for future use.

Uses

Sperm donation is used in a variety of assisted reproductive technologies, including Intrauterine insemination (IUI), In vitro fertilization (IVF), and Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). It can also be used in surrogacy arrangements.

Legal and ethical issues

There are a number of legal and ethical issues associated with sperm donation. These include issues of anonymity, consent, and the rights of the donor, recipient, and resulting child. In many jurisdictions, the law regarding sperm donation and the rights of donors, recipients, and children is complex and often unclear.
