Will you donate sperm? – Sperm donation or third party reproduction is the provision of male sperm (known as donor sperm) primarily for the purpose of inseminating a female who is not his sexual partner.
The sperm may be donated privately or directly to the intended recipient through a sperm bank or fertility clinic. The female may be inseminated naturally (through sexual intercourse) or through artificial insemination.
