LONDON — The British Fertility Society is warning that the country is facing a shortage of men willing to donate sperm.

Fertility clinics are struggling to recruit donors, have long waiting lists and high costs. In some parts of the country, there are no clinics at all.

The warning came Wednesday in the British Medical Journal from Mark Hamilton and Allan Pacey, members of the fertility society's board of directors.

They say part of the problem is that Britain banned anonymous sperm donation in 2005. Children who were born to a donor can now trace their biological parents once they are 18.

About 4,000 women a year in Britain need donor sperm to become pregnant. In 2006, only 307 men registered to become donors.

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

Hmmm...

What are donors paid over there? It would make for an interesting 'vacation'...

Wishing you ten-fold that which you wish upon all others.

Infertility is not a crime, we should do more to make those who can't have kids feel part of society so that not having children is ok - the planet needs less kids not more :(

Refusing to use the spellchick!

I have put you on ignore. No really, I have, but you are still ruining my enjoyment of this site. .

Who would thought the UK would suffer from a lack of wankers? This must have something to do with 6 emigrating.

lol.

VJ volume discounts available.

I sense a costs-offset VJ meetup in the UK sometime soon if we find the donation payments guys could get. I know here in the states many places pay pretty well from having watched something on TV about it.

If someone becomes a serial donator, I wonder whether that opens up the vague possibility of incest on the part of any offspring...
