Sperm donors ‘should be paid’

Sperm donors should be reimbursed in recognition of their “commitment, dedication and selflessness”, a leading fertility campaigner has said.

Laura Witjens, who chairs the National Gamete Donation Trust, said sperm donors should receive as much if not more money than women who go through the invasive and risky procedure of donating their eggs.

Clinics are not allowed to pay for eggs or sperm, but can compensate donors up to £250 for loss of earnings and expenses.
