Townsville, Australia turns for US help due to sperm shortage


Fertility groups in Townsville Australia are now seeking help from the US as they are running out of the supply of sperms.


An ampoule of sperms that costs more than $700 is imported from the US by the city's largest fertility clinic, the Queensland Fertility group because of not enough North Queensland men, or even Australian men are kind enough to donate.


In the past, the fertility clinics have relied on university students who were low on cash to offer a sperm donation.


Due to recent changes to the law that requires sperm donors to be contactable once the child they help to conceive turns 18, most men shy away from the responsibility.
