Donating Sperms Debate
Many students are making quick buck due to mushrooming demand by sperm banks. It acts as pocket money. The flip side according to me is it will end up in sex choice of the child. The sperm banks will ensure that they provide the required gene for procreation of male child. In this manner they make a fat sum and ratio of female populace will come down. It is a sensitive topic so discretion is adviced rather than valour
It reminds me of HITLER'S Superior race.Hmm i have nothing to say, i don't find any mistakes in it.Technology helps both group of the people you mentioned.This will lead up to... Designing a baby, like designing a car shape color and selecting by our choice !
Designer Or Superior babies is the right way to describe the same. Well the clients are willing to pay more for the same, forgetting Bernad shaws fabled statement to a beautiful women. But issue is breeding or birth of more male babies. As it is the ratio of female populace is lesser. Do we have regulation or controls in place.
Sir, we have no controls over things around us :DTrend is changing i gues,, now everyone(mosty) prefers a female child.. Read in some news paper.I guess, we should not let them choose Gender while using this technology
Deepak, the banks pay upto 12 k i believe depending on the donors height, colour, religion and profession.
i dont think sperm banks themselves can accuratly give you sperms that can help you select gender of the child. Yes there are technologies but they are not completly accurate
plus this can be stopped by simply making it illegal.It is no different from knowing the sex of child before birth.
Selecting gender in sperm banks is illegal in Many countries such as UK
The demand for Male baby is high in India, greedy banks will make a fast buck by selling male gene at a premium, can regulation work ?
its the same question .."Did regulations making pre natal gender detection as illegal work" If answer is Yes, Then we have a winner.
If answer is no then no point, one who wants a male baby will get it, natural or artificial way :)
Pre natal detection leads to lot of abortion nowerdays, by paying the price people get away, who will bother to inform authorities and than testify ?
well then sperm banks wont make a diffrence after all:)
It is an existing issue not something sperm banks are bringing up
The sperm banks and IVF clincs make a fortune depending on the client seeking solace
I am not sure how sperm back will bias gender ratios. People want male progeny of their line. Who would be interested in a male heir of same random guy. One can as well adopt a boy child if thats what they want. And if single females buy these spems, won't they prefer girl child? (If at all sperms can decide gender. Not sure of the technical possibility)
Though I don't have any opinion on this topic, this particular statement of yours surprises me: Many students are making quick buck due to mushrooming demand by sperm banks. It acts as pocket money.
Ranjith that is already a stale news, sperm donation is restricted to male above 21 but clinics accept students too without any qualm. You can google search you will find plenty of articles on the subject. I feel this aspect needs more regulation and upgrading to age of 25 with proper profiling.
@TF you gave a very goos news about chinese women ;)...in coming years a chinese visa also might be as valuable as a american visa some years ago :P
But as per my professor that is not the idea. Its actually the other way round. They want to escape the communist regime and male chauvenistic culture and come over this side of the border and have a comfortable life with a well earning IT professional
TF hope we don t have racist attacks on Indians in China for luring their womenfolk Lolz This is what is happening down under

The Sperm Banks do not have the necessary infrastructure to alter the genes of sperm. So sex choice is not plausible.
The sperm bank and the IVF clinic combo have the technology to seperate the individual sperms and clean them too. This obviously means that they will be able to determine the sex being conceived by the receipient.
As far as I know, only the lab in Hyderabad has that kind of expertise.
Has anyone watched Vicky Donor yet?
Not yet dear, did you watch the movie ?
Was Umesh by any chance hired by the movie makers to create this thread as a pre release promotion by creating a buzz on the topic?
Even if not, isn't that an interesting idea? Can't Indi folks approach movie producers for pre-release promotions here? Maybe thats an idea for new contests.
The sperm bank it is against the natural way of fertilization .. also its against the natural selection .
