been a sperm doner??

anyone thought about been a sperm doner??

been reading up on it and you can get 150 quid a week for 3 samples (50 quid each)

and they pick it up lol, no going into seedy cubicles with a copy of razzle.

and lets face it, its for a good cause.

thoughts??

yes it os for a good cause however recent changes to legislation mean that you are no longer an anonymous doner and that any children born as a result can have all your details and track you down if they wanted in later life..

Surely you can only 'donate' at specific intervals to ensure quality and 'concentration'?

If the sample's were being done at home how can they be sure that it is the donor's and not his mate's. Personally I wouldn't use a company that obtained there sample's this way. (not that I would need to!!)

It's not - jillie1974 is right.

This does not look like a good idea.... So someone picks up your fresh sperm and takes it within two hours drive from your home... A bit close for comfort and how many recipients can there be within that distance?
If you live in a rural area, there cannot be that realistically that much demand for it. Furthermore, how do you know where your sperm ends up and what purposes ( no, I am not usually prone to conspiracy theories

).

if you feel that strongly about donating you should contact your local fertility clinic. there is a shortgae due to the current legislation so you may get some expenses paid but i would definitely stay away from a website

its not that i feel strongly about it, its easy money and its doing something that i love to do

but if theres no confidentiality then i wont go through with it.

I never did that way back when I was a student as it was obvious then people were angling to change the law. I thought they would make it retrospective though.

Maybe that's in the future.
