The practice of sperm donation is not new but and has been used for some time to help a woman conceive, sometimes this service has been done for free but more likely it is for a fairly large fee. As reproductive medical treatments go it is one of the simplest but dates back over fifty years. Many couples use sperm donation as a conception method of choice if the male partner has no sperm and as such it has become very well established. Unfortunately, male infertility rates are on the increase so sperm donation continues to be popular even though more than one treatment is usually required before conception occurs. Increasingly, single women who desire a child but do not have, or want a male partner, resort to sperm donation in order to enjoy motherhood. Unfortunately, there are couples that are unable to conceive naturally and sperm donation has helped them to enjoy the pleasures of parenting. Some women are lucky and a relation is able to donate sperm but this cannot always be done if there is a genetic medical problem within the family. Many women want to feel the child grow inside them and know it as their own so do not look at adoption and are happy to have sperm donation. Sperm donation is normally offered as a facility to men who are undergoing chemotherapy where there is a chance that fatherhood may not be possible when the course of treatment is over. Unfortunately, as with all these types of matters, the law and ethics societies have begun to get involved with the issue of sperm donation. Sperm donation is also very lucrative and worth far more than donating blood; at a price of approximately 0 per specimen, sperm donation is profitable for many young people. The fertility industry relies heavily on sperm and egg donors as it has become a very lucrative business. Unlike sperm donation, which is a relatively quick and simple process, egg donation may require a series of injections. Sperm insemination and consequently procreation, is either in the uterus or in vitro from ejaculated and washed spermatozoa. Every country has its own rules regarding sperm donation, some allow anonymity, while others do not just as some accept sperm donors but not egg. It is a situation that in the long term will need better clarification because if adoption becomes harder or more costly and sperm/egg donation is unavailable, the population rate will start to decrease.
