Shocking facts I learnt today at the hospital
-
I was volunteering at the Singapore General Hospital today when I came across this place -- the Centre for Assisted Reproduction, or CARE. When I offered to make a sperm donation, two nurses escorted me to a private room for some pre-donation "consultation".
To cut the long story short, I discovered that there exists a legal policy of anonymity between the donor and recipient, i.e. the donor knows absolutely nothing about his recipient, and more surprisingly, vice-versa.
You don't even get to know whose semen you're putting in your wife's uterus! Imagine giving birth to some baby of some other race nine months later.
Later I also realised that there was a serious shortage of egg and sperm donors; since 1989, only two women had made successful egg donations!
The ratio of recipients:donors, by the way, is atrocious; you wouldn't want to know the statistics. So many couples are extremely desperate for a child, despite the confidentiality involved...

Yes i volunteered at the hospital before too and they told me a little on this too.
Not totally anoynomous too. The donated sperms and eggs are labled by colors, and the child given life by the donated sperm has a color code too. with the color code, they can find the donor, but it has to be agreed upon by every 1 involved. -
How you made the donation? I thought sperm will die when expose to air?

That is messed up. In other countries they usually provide information such as possible risk of hereditary diseases, skin colour, and any other important info.
