Fifteen percent of couples worldwide have difficulty conceiving, while in Greece 1 in 6 couples will need a doctor for fertility issues. When the spouse \/ partner does not produce any spermatozoa and therefore there is no chance of pregnancy or when the partner has a genetic abnormality that should not be passed on to his children, sperm donation is necessary. Sperm donation is an act of substantial help, generosity and social contribution.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Requirements of candidate donors for participation in the program<\/h2>\n\n<p>The selected donors are young adults exclusively of Greek origin, aged mainly 19 to 35 years, with full legal capacity. Requirementsfor participation in the program are:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>good health<\/li><li>personal and family medical history without infectious, genetic or inherited diseases<\/li><li>possibility and flexibility to visit the lab for the collection of samples, with abstinence from ejaculation for 3-4 days<\/li><li>exclusive cooperation with HSB Sperm Bank<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reasons to become a donor<\/h2>\n\n<p>Sperm donation, like voluntary blood donation, is an act of substantial help and social contribution.
