Another solution might be to increase the number of pregnancies that each donor is permitted to produce. The legal limit is 10, set to minimize the chances of what is called inadvertent consanguinity — half siblings, unaware they had the same donor father, together having children, who would be at risk for genetic diseases caused by inbreeding.

Shortage of Sperm Donors in Britain Prompts Calls for Change - NYTimes.com - 0 views

It is interesting that the UK has limitations set on the number of women that can used donated sperm. I knew that people were concerned with the issue of half siblings reproducing but I never knew that there were governments that took action to prevent it. It later states that Netherlands allows 25 recepients per donor although they have a much smaller population. And then there is us, the United States, where there is no limit set and the clincs can decide for themselves. If such shortages took place in the United States, Im sure many clincs would just start using the same donor due to the capitalistic nature of our sturcture.

Danish IVF

This site, presents a fertility clinic that does step out of the norm by presenting images of labaratory IVF techniques rather than those copious amounts of images on the majority of other fertility clinic websites that have those pictures of the beautiful parents with their newborn child, or those cute chubby wide-eyed baby pictures. Rather, this clinic's website allows the viewer to use these images as aid in understanding the actual IVF process and to allow this viewer to be comfortable with the clinic's medical knowledge. I agree with Allison, that many of these fertility clinics do present these sperm/egg logos but this website takes it a step further by presenting more images of the labartory ways of IVF. Thus as a viewer, I find a fertility clinic that condones such a website is more reliable than those that merely show the picture perfect family or the blue eyed baby, but then again it won't hurt to have both types of images.

I think this part of the site is very informative. I like how it gives a list of important questions and then provides links to answer them.
