Wankers needed

Apparently there is a severe shortage of sperm donors.

The Royal Hospital for Women has had no new sperm donors for more than 12 months.  Reproductive specialists say attracting enough men to satisfy demand has always been difficult.  Changes to NSW legislation this month requiring donors to register their names on a mandatory central register had turned potential donors off, said Professor Michael Chapman, from IVF Australia, which has a waiting list of two years.  The Assisted Reproductive Technology Bill guarantees children access to their father’s name, date of birth, education and medical information once they turn 18. It may also require details of the donor’s partner and other children to be listed.  Dr Anne Clark, from Fertility First Hurstville, said the sperm shortage would be compounded by the new laws, which legislate that one man’s sperm can go to only five families, down from 10.

This is a rather surprising problem.  After all, there’s certainly no shortage of wankers around.
