Anyone considering using an online sperm donor service should be warned by the conviction of the founder of one such company for fraud and financial misconduct.
The company was offering fresh sperm, delivered to your door, and claimed to have had around 5,000 customers. However, the very fact that they were offering fresh rather than frozen sperm rang alarm bells for experts, as it suggested they couldn't be carrying out proper screening and checks on the samples they were offering.
Now it has emerged that behind the scenes money was being siphoned off, whilst the company was claiming to be pursuing a mission to help women get pregnant. According to reports, customers had reported problems such as samples being delivered by minicab, or in one case in a dirty coffee flask, and employees claimed people were not always sent sperm samples from donors with the physical characteristics they'd requested.
Finding a sperm donor through a reputable clinic may take more time, but the safeguards that are in place will ensure you know your donor has been properly screened and that the sample they have provided is safe.
