Recent reports show that 85% of men who apply to be sperm donors are rejected because of poor quality seamen. After further screening just 3.6% of sperm from donors was used from conception.
An article which examines this trend has gone on to explain that this has led to shortages in the UK and women searching on the Internet for sperm to be imported from abroad or via unregistered donors they meet online
There is much debate over the lack of options for would be parents, however how much thought has been given to the men behind the statistics, who offered to donate only to be rejected.
With three quarters of donations being rejected on the basis of seamen quality, this must place a great deal of stress and unease on the men who are informed their sample does not make the grade.
Most of these would be donors will likely never have problems conceiving with their partners, yet their failure to qualify as a donor must make them anxious of this fact.
Perhaps if they are aware of the statistics it is a factor putting many men off donating, for fear of rejection and the anxiety which will come arm in arm with that.
