Abstract

The treatment of male infertility by the utilization of donor insemination goes back many decades. Initially, fresh semen was used, usually brokered by a medical practitioner, the donors delivering the sperm as the recipient was about to ovulate, with the insemination being carried out by the doctor. There was no screening of the semen specimen, nor any attempt at matching for physical characteristics.
