Sperm bank biz to be regulated
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2006-04-09 16:30 China will restrict the use of
a single sperm donation to impregnate no more than five women in an effort to
control the commercial use of assisted reproductive technology.
In a statement released by the Ministry of Health, sperm banks are required
to record detailed information on how they use donated sperm. It prohibits them
from providing sperm to unauthorized ART institutions or from using it for
commercial purposes. As of April 1, 64 institutions were authorized to offer
ART-related services, and seven institutions have established sperm banks.
