Sperm donation is a process where a man provides sperm to help someone conceive a child. This can be done through sperm banks or directly with a known donor. Individuals or couples who may use sperm donation include single women, lesbian couples, and heterosexual couples where the male partner has fertility issues. Donated sperm is typically screened for infectious diseases and genetic conditions to ensure the health of the recipient and potential child. The process can be anonymous, where the donor's identity is kept confidential from the recipient and the child, or non-anonymous, where the donor may have some agreed-upon contact with the resulting child. Legal agreements are crucial in sperm donation to establish parental rights and responsibilities for all parties involved. Donors undergo medical and psychological evaluations to ensure they are suitable candidates. The sperm is often used in assisted reproductive technologies such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF).
