Why does the United States export most sperm in the world?

Many statistics show that the US is currently the world's No. 1 power in exporting human sperms. It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of vials containing "breeds" who are allowed to leave the country each year.

Buying and selling sperm is currently growing globally and is internationalized. More and more children are born through "breeds" of anonymous fathers in distant continents.

Why is " American breed" so popular? The answer is not necessarily related to the good condition and strength of the men of this country.

In the article published on The Verge, author Brooke Jarvis lists many reasons: First of all, it is because American immigration history is synonymous with rare racial diversity. For some foreign women who aspire to be mothers, this trait can give the United States an advantage over countries like Denmark - another "seed" export power in the world.

The second reason is that America's "breed" is of high quality. The United States has issued some of the most stringent standards for epidemic screening and sperm screening in the world. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) defines sperm as human tissue and manages its donation almost similar to other body parts. After collecting a semen sample, the authorities will count the number of sperm in the sample under a microscope to determine if it is of good quality. If the number of living cells is higher than the number of dead cells, that "seed" sample will be approved. Then, it will be inserted into a centrifuge to remove blood cells, semen and other unwanted particles, then frozen in liquid nitrogen.

In addition, although the US has made a lot of strict requirements on sperm quality, the United States seems to loosen other management regulations, making it a relatively larger source of "breeds" than most countries. again in the world. Specifically, the United States allows men to donate sperm anonymously and get paid for it. While in other countries, sperm donations decline because the law prohibits anonymity or pays for it.

After Britain ended the sperm donor's anonymous rights in 2005, the wait to receive "breeds" could take several years, partly because fewer and fewer men agreed to share sperm. with many women or with women they do not know well. In Canada, concerns about the commercialization of human reproduction have led to a ban on paying donors in 2005 and by 2011, a sperm bank with 35 regular donors has constitute the entire supply of the country, according to The Grid magazine. Currently, more than 90% of donated sperms are used in Canada originating from the US.

Before a series of criticisms of ease, US lawmakers have now tightened regulations. One of them is to ask sperm donors to allow any of their future children to contact their biological father when they are 18 years old. This provision is part of the "Open Identity" system and aims to reduce the number of men who are giving "breeds" for money.
