I didnt see it but its interesting that they have such a shortage. My Dh would never do it (and he isnt keen on me donating eggs either) because he cant handle the idea of a child of his/mine biologically out there not knowing us. Which is fair enough.
I definately think the child being able to access donor information at 18 is what scares alot off. They may be donating out of good will but not at all interested in knowing the resulting child. I can only imagine how confronting it would be for the donor; to be married with a family 20yrs down the track and suddenly have this person show up announcing they are the product of your donation. But then again I can see how the child may want to know the donor/family.
Dhs answer to the donor shortage? Give single soldiers in the military the day off for donating and there will never be a shortage again His arguement is youll be guaranteed they are fit and healthy and usually disease free.
