These days, people want to have options when it comes to family planning. No matter what the situation is, whether it’s an LGBTQ+ family looking for choices, single moms, couples who are having fertility concerns, and anything in between, sperm donation is a valuable choice. It’s created opportunities to grow families where they may not have been before sperm donation came into the picture.
This all means that your sperm donation really matters, now more than ever. Here’s a closer look as to why this is the case:
Growing Demand
The demand for sperm donation has increased over the years but the supply hasn’t been replenished enough to meet it. Your sperm donation will give people options when they are searching for donor sperm. There are many reasons why the need has increased, including the fact that people are often waiting a bit linger to have children, single parenthood is becoming more common, and more LGBTQ+ couples are choosing this as their past.
This all means that our sperm donation is valuable and very much appreciated. Another factor to the growing demand is that there is a limit to how much one donor can donate. So, even if there are plenty of willing donors, they will eventually not be eligible, making room for new donors.
Empowered Choices
Sperm donation is all about choice. By becoming a sperm donor, you support this sense of empowerment. You make it possible from people of all backgrounds to become parents. Those looking to start their families have more choices than ever, and you would be part of that as a sperm donor.
In other words, you are empowering others to make choices that will help them achieve their dreams. It opens things up for people who have chosen a bit of an alternative path from the norm.
Scientific Progress
In some cases, your sperm donation would also help promote scientific and medical progress in certain fields. This is done either indirectly, because your donation could possibly used as part of a medical procedure that would help someone overcome fertility challenges, or directly. As a donor you could choose to have your donation used to promote science.
Note that at Cascade Cryobank, our sperm is not directly used for medical science and research. However, we do extensively test the sperm before accepting a donor into the program. Our accepted donors are placed in our catalog for recipients’ use.
Open Culture
Note that there has been a growing trend of promoting openness among sperm donors, recipients, and donor conceived children. If you decide to become a sperm donor, you will be part of this shift. The process is governed by strict ethical standards, too, so you will be part of something that is much bigger than yourself, while also changing lives.
Sperm donation used to be looked at as a quiet, secretive act. This is no longer the case. Things are changing, and you can be part of this change. Your donation matters.
