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

[conuly]

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.

Oh yes, I've read a little on that. They do want people in very good health and without genetic issues for donation. I'll never be accepted as an egg donor, except maybe by someone who knew me and knew enough about my issues to be able to handle the potential risks and decrease the risks for the children (genetic predisposition plus environmental trigger... decrease the odds of an environmental trigger and the genetic predisposition is much less of an issue... alas, my generation is the one to learn of the genetic predisposition).
