And now the FDA wants to use the same asinine rules for sperm donation as for blood donation

Instead of testing donors to make sure they're not sick, they'd rather just exclude a huge swath of the population from donating.

Brilliant plan, guys. Really.

That 10% number comes from the most scientific studies I've found.

Let's even pretend it's 1%. This is a country with some 260 million people, no? That's... um... 260,000 people. That's a huge amount of people.

2. Your personal observations are directly at odds with my personal observations. I would suggest you go to the studies on this, and then we can talk.

3. I'm sorry, has there been a large outbreak of people getting AIDS from sperm donations? I wouldn't think so, but...? Even if I agreed with the argument (which I don't), I wouldn't agree that there's a need for this sort of discriminatory rule.
