analysis of the outcome of 11 712 men applying to be sperm donors in Denmark and the USA

Typically, these include donor insemination, or IVF using donor sperm by heterosexual couples with severe male factor infertility, and increasingly by single women or women in same-sex relationships ( National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), 2013).
