Donor sperm is semen collected from a voluntary sperm donor and used in assisted reproductive technologies to help individuals or couples conceive. It is commonly used in intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF), including for single women or lesbian couples and for heterosexual couples when the male partner has infertility or health risks.

Donor screening and selection: potential donors undergo medical history review, physical examination, and laboratory testing for sexually transmitted infections and genetic conditions. Donated samples are processed, frozen, and quarantined as required by guidelines. Sperm banks and fertility clinics track donor identification codes to link offspring with donors while protecting personal information.

Anonymity and identity release: Policies vary by country and clinic. Some donors are anonymous; others participate in identity-release programs that provide identifying information to offspring once they reach adulthood. Laws may restrict the number of offspring a donor can conceive to limit genetic succession and reduce risk of consanguinity.

Usage and limits: Donor sperm may be used for a limited number of families or eggs; clinics often impose quotas per donor. Recipients can choose criteria such as education, physical traits, or health history, though selections are typically limited by regulations and ethical guidelines.

Legal and ethical considerations: Legal parentage typically remains with the recipient's partner or the recipient in single-parent cases. Donor compensation varies by jurisdiction. Ethical debates center on donor anonymity, children's right to know genetic origins, and the implications for family dynamics.
