My husband is considering becoming a sperm donor for both reasons: Money and because it is good for the world.
Answers:
I have heard that personal stats do make a difference -cause the mother wants to pick a guy for sperm donor that will produce the baby of her dreams -like if she wants an athletic child with red hair & freckles -or whatever her preferences are- as for what else is involved I beleive they will do blood tests -to get his bloodtype, health history (any illnesses or those in his family), maybe even a background check -(criminal history) and I'm sure there will be lots of paper work to sign
Good Luck with the endevor -I think it is very Noble of him and of you as well for supporting him -Have you considered donating your Eggs ??-the benefits are the same you'd be helping families and you would be compensated as well -I heard the rate is $3000.00 and up per egg but you have to be on hormones and stuff

I would let my husband, especially if we are having money problems
Hi,
If you both agree then it will be be ok...
The main thing is how will you feel knowing your husband will have kids out there you both will never know?
this is no problem to be a sperm doner , if he is as you say... let him do it , its nothing bad for him its just like haveing sex more often and not cheating on you .
try to be the one that give him the satesfaction .
It does pay decent money. my husband was going to do it but then got embarrassed and chickened out. He thought that people would know.
Your man has excellent credentials and yes that does make a difference. I would want the smart successfull guys specimin instead of the the uneducated bums if I needed it to have a baby.
Things to consider: if you have children and he donates in the same geographical area, there will be a chance that your kids will intermingle with those he spawned as a donor. The money is not that great a few hundred per donation and there are other risks for the recipient as well. You and he should consider this long and seriously. This very thing was on one of the TV news magazines this past week.
I don't think that there are vertain credentials that they look for in a person. I dont know anyone that has done it either. Yes, what your husband wants to do is a good thing for alot of people. Especially people that are going through fertility problems and could use it. I wish you both the best of luck in your decision. He's not wrong if he does it! Please do look at these resources before actually going. Also, the second link there tells you about rather your husband can be annonymous or not if his sperm is used and those children can be given his information and they have a right to contact him. Just a thought hon!

And there is another reason, whether he is saying it out loud to you or not. He is at the point in his life where he is wondering if he has made the right choices and realizes that he is one day going to actually die. It is becoming more of a reality to him. I would guess he is around 35 years old and that you have been married between 7-14 years. Probably 13.
He wants to leave something in this world when he passes (even if it's 50 years from now). And if you are not going to reinvent the lightbulb, then children are the easiest way for a man to leave something here.
That is not to say that there is anything wrong with it.
But also laws are constanting changing. Have you considered the possibility that a child might look him up one way to find out more about medical history, etc.
And I'm wondering why a licensed therapist with everything going for him needs money??? Sorry. Just crossed my mind.
Would you really want to know that your husband has kids out there somewhere that you will never know. I wouldn't do it. But hey that's just me.
How do you think it is "good for the world" like we need more unwanted kids in this world. Yes if you are going to a sperm bank to get pregnant then you probably want the child but what about the thousands upon thousands of unwanted kids in the world. Why are you having money problems your husband seems well educated. There are a lot of holes in your story. Selling sperm for the money is wrong.
i dont think you will listen to some of the better answers.
you dont need the money. if your husband is so smart and good for this world why would he be selling his sperm?woman who have had an abortion years after have mental problems.
as stated there are a lot of babys that need adopted.Hitler
tryed to make the perfect race . i dont like your question to much,shows bad caractor.if the sperm grows into a mental retarded baby are they gonna kill it, because its not perfect. i want you to know after he does it there is a big chance that he will develope mental problems. i dont think your husband or you are so great.he hole sperm donor aint about maturity. its about money like you said.ide rather be poor and homeless then have that money or do that. once you do something like that ,you have to live with it. you seem to only want to hear what you want to hear. bad things are just evil and you asked.
i hope you dont get hurt. him to. you can rob a bank and get a little money to. i dont get your for money point.it makes it sicker. why would such a smart guy need with a masters be selling his sperm for the money. why would anyone
there aint a good reason to donate sperm like that for that its not natural. thats how farmers breed.i dont want what you have. i dont want anything any money that bad or even a baby. where i would do that. maybe its the water you drank at college that made you think that way. there are a lot of people who have bio logically sick and quickly infecting masses or people. maybe your and your husband are trying to shock your mom and dads . for the money . God i hope i die and never try to do something like donating sperm or meeting a lady and trying to get her to do it .money does not make you happy. its blood money . nothing can erase the memories. i have a contious. something tells me that aint right . the money wouldnt pay for the care i might need.
you saying for money. there for i think you trying to drum up some bussiness for a sperm donor .im sure you are and yahoo will delete your question. but who knows what yahoo staff will do.

for money that blows my mind.

as someone who has used the services of an annon. donor i just want to say thank you for considering it. :) if and your husband are comfortable with knowing that he may father other children, then you're ready to go. but really, seriously think about it.
as far as whats involed i've been told that more than 50% of men who try to donate do not wualify. it takes more than beating off in a cup. they do a very extensive medical history - your husband, his siblings, parents, grandparents and possibly aunts uncles and cousins. they test and screen for all kinds of things and then have a minimum 6 month quarentine period where your husband will have to return to retest.
the degrees may make a difference- but it'll all really just come down to his sperm count, motility, his medical history and whatever else they screen for. :)
your best bet would be to check into sperm banks online - most of them have a section for people who want to donate to find out whats involved. once you do that -call or visit your local sperm bank and see what their policies and requirements are.
doing it for the money is just another reason. the donors i have used were college students looking for money - and personally, that was okay with me. their medical histories were awesome, they were athletic and smart (one had a fiull ride scholorship to university)
you will be helping out a couple or a single woman who desperately wants a child and canno have one biologically for whatever reason. i can tell you from a recipients poin t of view - your reason for donating means very little :)
