Many countries have a national quota, set by law, for the number of children or families a donor may be used for. We adhere to the limits on the number of children/families per donor in Denmark (no more than 12 families) and in all other countries.
Furthermore, at Born, we have an upper limit for the number of children per donor worldwide. It is a limit based on what we believe is ethically defensible for both donors and the donor-conceived children entering the world.
At Born, there is no discrimination. All approved sperm donors receive the same compensation.

Becoming a sperm donor is not difficult. That said, there are a number of tests and factors that may make someone unsuitable, such as hereditary diseases, reduced sperm quality, and similar conditions. If you’re a healthy man between 18 and 45 years old, are motivated, and have good sperm quality, the process is straightforward. We recommend talking to your family to learn whether any hereditary diseases run in your family.
