ASRM: Pressure Builds for Open Identity Sperm Donation

The study that I completed with Dr. Patricia Mahlstedt was discussed in the following article. **A few corrections are worth noting. 1. Although 60% of our participants believed that only donors who release their identity should be used (versus anonymous donors), an additional 15% did not support any type of sperm/egg donation. 2. The participant attitudes were not mainly very good to good, as indicated here. Instead, they were evenly distributed from very bad to very good.
