This review is from: Family Building Through Egg and Sperm Donation: Medical, Legal, and Ethical Issues (Hardcover)
I've been shooting blanks for years.

Doctor's think it has something to do with my experimentations with hallucinogenic drugs when I was in college, but I think it's related to my strong preference for wearing tighty-whiteys. Regardless of the exact cause, my wife and I have saved a fortune by not having to buy contraception. The downside is that I'm unable to conceive a child.

We looked into adoption, but my wife's sketchy past pretty much eliminated any chance of that happening. Our neighbors offered to give us their next child, but we were afraid they'd want to come over every day and see him/her.

Then my boss recommended, "Family Building Through Egg and Sperm Donation". He was also having difficulties producing fertile sperm, so he suggested that I read the book (and not just look at the pictures).

My wife and I have always been open to new ways of making babies, so the concept of egg and sperm donation was exciting to us. I admit that this was the first time we'd heard of egg and sperm donation - and we were originally scared off by the concept - but once we understood the legal, medical and ethical ramifications, we were ready to pick a donor.

Contrary to what people might say, there is no shame in being infertile. I was teased incessantly at work for having ineffective sperm, but you can imagine the look on my coworkers' faces, when 10 months later, "Mr. Sterile" (me) showed off his healthy baby girl.

While not for everyone, I recommend, "Family Building Through Egg and Sperm Donation" to any couple having trouble fertilizing.
