Our comments to the press coverage concerning sperm donors

Recently there is a debate in the press regarding Recklingshausens disease that some children have inherited from 2 Scandinavian sperm donors.

This has given rise to anxiety and concern of many women who have had a child through sperm donation from us.

Sperm from the donors involved are all taken out of the program at Stork Clinic as soon as we from sperm banks have been informed that the donor had been blocked. We have continuously been in contact with the women who are pregnant with the donors.

StorkKlinik is licensed under EU Tissuedirective, which means the purchase and use of donor sperm meets stringent regulatory requirements.
Sperm banks are under the same directive, and it is the sperm banks that are legally bound to both the screening of donors prior to use and evaluation of donors in cases of suspected inherited disease.

If you have questions about the donor you have become pregnant with you are very welcome to call us.

Do you have questions regarding safety testing and screening of donors, please contact Cryosinternational.com or Nordiccryobank.com
