How to become a Donor?
Our donors are normal, physically and mentally healthy men
from a broad cross section of society. Most of them are
professionals or students from institutions of higher education.
Each donor meets rigorous selection criteria and undergoes a
thorough examination prior to acceptance. The donors receive only
a small remuneration, and it is our belief that they are genuine
in their desire to help others.
Donors are fully informed concerning the activities of the centre
and affirm they have not had homosexual intercourse, do not belong
to any group at risk for AIDS, and furthermore, that they are
willing to donate semen to be used by childless couples for
artificial insemination. Donors renounce all paternal rights and
responsibilities. The donors are given explicit assurance of
anonymity.
Prior to approval, donors are tested for antibodies against HIV-I
and -II, VDRL, as well as hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg),
hepatitis C (HCV-Ab) and bloodgroup (AB0) is registered. All
donors are screened for Thalessemia. Complete anamnesis
(specifically regarding possible inheritable conditions) is
recorded and the data are entered into a registry of donors. Every
donor is examined and given final approval by a medical doctor.
Once every three months, donors are retested for the sexually
transmissible diseases: HIV-I and -II.
Donor characteristics on file includes: donor number, build,
height, weight, peculiarities of appearance (e.g. complexion etc.)
psychological profile, age, education/occupation, blood type, and
negative results on tests for HBsAg, HCV-Ab, syphilis, HIV-I and
-II, and Thalessemia.
Semen stays frozen in quarantine for at least three months, after
which time the donor must be HIV-negative before the semen can be
released
Donor Information
A Step by step description of how we select donors for our
program:
Have you ever wondered how a semen bank selects its donors. At our
Sperm Bank, we use a stringent screening process and currently
accept into our donor program fewer than 5% of the men who apply.
Here's why:
The Phone Call...
The process begins with a phone call to our donor coordinator.
She asks potential donors a few basic questions regarding their
height, weight, age and educational background. She also asks
whether he or his parents are adopted.
These questions are asked for the following reasons:
1. We have a minimum height requirement because the majority
of our clients request donors between 5'6" and 6'2".
2. The weight of each donor must be in approximate proportion to
his height. Excessive overweight or underweight donors are not
accepted into our program due to potential medical problems
associated with abnormal weight.
3. Donors must be between the age of 19 and 34. While a man's
fertility does not automatically decline after the age of 34, men
under that age are more likely to consistently produce superior
quality of sperm necessary for successful freezing and thawing.
4. The Sperm Bank requires that donors attend, or have graduated
from, a major 4-year university. The majority of our donors come
from the University of Bombay.
5. We accept only those men who can provide the medical and
genetic information on themselves and their family members
required by the Sperm Bank.
The Screening Process...
If a potential donor meets the above listed requirements, our
donor coordinator will ask him to complete the donor application
form and provide a semen sample. The semen sample will then be
analyzed to determine whether the donor's semen meets our
standards.
The majority of potential donors are disqualified due to
inadequate semen specimens. Because a small portion of the sperm
is lost in the freezing and thawing process, a donor's fresh semen
samples must meet certain minimum requirement. In order to qualify
for our donor program, 70% of his sperm must be motile, 60% must
have normal morphology, and the sperm count must be at least 60
million sperm per cc.
A donor applicant is disqualified from participation in the donor
program if there is a family history which indicates that the
man's offspring may be at increased risk for a birth defect or
known genetic condition. If there is a personal history of alcohol
or other drug abuse, the applicant will not be accepted as a
donor. If the medical director is satisfied that the man is a good
candidate for our donor program, he is given a number and he is
admitted into our program.

Some not too smart gangsters decide to rob a bank. After several
days of planning they agree on the best plan. The next day they
get to work and are able to get into the bank relatively easy
thanks to their planning. Once inside the main vault they discover
one wall is full of safety deposit boxes and start to work on them
immediately. They drill and pry open the first box only to find a
small container of vanilla pudding inside.
The Head Gangster says "Okay, well, at least we can eat it."
So they eat the pudding. They drill and pry open up the second
Safety deposit box and there sits another pudding. They decide to
devour it too. They didn't find any money or jewelry in any of the
boxes. Disappointed the head gangster said "Well, at least they
left something for us to eat". The next day, while listening to
the news they hear: "Yesterday the largest sperm bank in the USA
was robbed by an unknown group of people".
This actually happened at Harvard University in October of last
year. I thought you would find it educational. In a biology class,
the Prof. was discussing the high glucose levels found in semen. A
young female (freshman) raised her hand and asked "If I
understand, you're saying there is as much glucose in male semen
as ther is in sugar?
That's correct", responded the Prof., going on to add statistical
info. Raising her hand again, the girl asked, "Then why doesn't it
taste sweet?"
After a stunned silence, the whole class burst out laughing, the
poor girl's face turned bright red, and as she realized exactly
what she had inadvertently said (or rather implied), she picked up
her books without a word and walked out of class... and never
returned. However, as she was going out the door, the Prof's reply
was classic... Totally straight-faced he answered her question,
"It doesn't taste sweet because the taste-buds for sweetness are
on the tip of your tongue and not in the back of your throat."
A man is sitting next to a woman on a jet which is getting ready
to take off.
Suddenly, the man sneezes. He unzips his pants and wipes the end
of his penis off with his handkerchief. He zips up, and continues
reading his magazine.
The woman cannot believe what she just saw. Then he sneezes again,
unzips, pulls out his penis and wipes it off with a handkerchief.
The woman says, "Excuse me sir, but that is disgusting and rude,
and if you do it again, I am going to call the flight attendant
and have you removed from this plane.
He says, "I am so sorry that I have offended you. I have this very
rare, embarrassing physical handicap that causes me to orgasm
every time I sneeze."
The woman, disarmed by the man's honesty, and somewhat embarrassed
by her own callousness, says, with sympathy, "Oh you poor man,
what are you taking for it?"
"Pepper," he answers.
