Question 1

should disclosure in egg, sperm and embryo donation be legislated?

Accepted Answer

Philosophical issue: Some people want an "adopted" child's biological or genetic parents' identities to be known, or at least available for the child to look up if he wants to. Other people want the biological or genetic parents' identities permanently removed from records and never known. There are good arguments on both sides of the issue.

Question 2

if a sperm donor has herpes, will the donation infect the woman?

Accepted Answer

Semen herpes: Probably not since the virus is typically located on genital skin and semen is extruded through the urethra.  Also, the sperm is processed from the semen specimen before it is used.

Question 3

i have watery sperm after i masturbated 1 month after my liver donation surgery. what does it means . i am worried?

Accepted Answer

: I do not think partial liver resection for liver transplant could affect the semen quality. If semen is persistently abnormal in appearance a semen analysis should be done. Good luck.

Question 4

why are the sperm donations hidden & the lies not shared till child is adult if at all?

Accepted Answer

?shows anger/pain?: It appears that health tap may be the wrong place to ask your question. Assisted fertility has long been an area where donations/use has been respected as privileged information shared at the will and discretion of the adults involved. If you have found out u or someone else in your life was the product of this process, u need to ask those involved.

Here's something you can read.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/spermicide.
