How to donate sperm to a friend?

If you want to donate sperm to a friend through a licensed sperm bank, you and your friend must find a fertility clinic that can perform fertility treatment with your sperm. During the process, you must undergo a thorough screening to test your sperm quality and ensure that no infectious diseases are transferred to the woman or child. After your sperm donation, the sperm will be analysed and then frozen and stored in the sperm bank until the treatment can start (up to 6 months).
