Talk:Sperm bank

message: How do they freeze the sperm? Just drop it to freezing temperatures? Does any inert chemial need to be added? Thanks --x1987x 12:34, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
A cryos freezing medium consists of di-sodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium di-hydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride, glucose, sterile water and glycerol is added to the sperm. The sperm is filled in straw or vails and then suspended in liquid nitrogen.
How long can sperm remain frozen for? Some guy 02:32, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: How and how long?

message: From the article: "The sperm is stored in small vials or straws of holding between 0.4-1.0 and frozen in liquid nitrogen tanks." Holding between 0.4-1.0 what? These numbers need units. -24.118.117.0 01:30, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well spotted.  According the article Sperm donation the correct unit is "ml".  I've added it. Robert Brockway 09:49, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Clairification Necessary

message: I was going through the recent edits. user:ALEXIS has made many many changes, which I really haven't been able to go through yet. :)  However, I noticed Angelofdeath275's point about the external links being advertisements. Yeah, they do seem to be an exhaustive list of sperm banks world-wide. Is that necessarily bad? I'm not aware of the policies on this, so I figured I'd bring it up here. Angelofdeath275 himself has since been banned from wikipedia, so I can't just talk to him about it. Wellspring (talk) 15:55, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: External Links

message: This article seems to have a lot of bold statements of fact that do not appear obvious to me. For example, "Most societies are built upon the family model". The article is not labeled as needing citations. I'm not qualified or confident enough to decide that but I thought I would point this out in case someone can either address that or tell me that I'm being too picky.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cutelyaware (talk • contribs) 06:58, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citations Needed? 

message: Do the banks tell the exact ethinicity of the donor, like if the women chooses white that could mean any of a number of different ethnic groups for example celtic, germanic, slavic or even jewish and all of those will produce a very different child from the other?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.99.132.30 (talk) 17:49, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  race or ethnicity? 

message: The first half of the "general" section of the article is too POV - it reads like a pamphlet distributed by a sperm bank. Some guy (talk) 11:49, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Did I say it was plagiarized? I said it "reads like a pamphlet", in other words, uses POV marketing-type language. Some guy (talk) 10:10, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  NPOV 

message: It seems to me that the "sperm donation" page, which is anyway in need of cleaning up, is better than this page and has more detailed information as well. I propose shifting that section to here (making sure that nothing that is only on this page is lost). Thoughts? TaraIngrid (talk) 20:22, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd rather have a common subpage for a major part of the information that is common between these two articles as suggested below. Mikael Häggström (talk) 14:09, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Replace this whole page with the info from the Sperm Donation page? 

message: Why nobody talks about semen of bulls or stallions et cetera? Also rare animal in zoo? It is placed in cryobank also. 89.178.75.149 (talk) 22:23, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  What about animal's semen? 

message: Sperm banks not only offer the service to give sperm from donors but also to conserve the sperm for example of men who may want to have children later when they can no longer produce it themselves due to illness or age. There are even cases of men whose sperm was extracted after their death or women who used sperm their partner conserved before he died. California Cryobank seems to have been the first to practice extraction of sperm from deceased men. I created :Category:Sperm banks] and wondered if it should be mentioned here where to find information about the individual sperm banks. Cryos International that is already mentioned here according to various sources claims to be the biggest one, just as California Cryobank does. The Sperm Bank of California seems notable due to their non-profit organisational form and introduction of the system to inform children about their biological father when they reach the age of 18.

thread_title:  Sperm conservation & list of banks 

message: Our goals include: 
* Elaborate with citations about age of donors in parts of the world
* Elaborate with citations about reasons donors go to sperm banks
* Elaborate on the procedures for screening and how many donors compared to demand
- In China, donors need to undergo two screenings and a laboratory screening before being able to donate. [PMID 24520662]
* Edit through citations and append more accurate sources
* Resolve the needed missing citations  
 - Add Wiki:Donation Laws by Country as the citation for sperm donors donating elsewhere.

1. Do the group's edits substantially improve the article as described in the Wikipedia peer review "Guiding framework?" 
* Yes, they have improved the article. I liked how the sections were separated in chronological order going from general to recruitment to screening to collection and to storage. The group elaborated on demographics and controversy which I thought was helpful since they briefly discussed equity. The information under each section was easy to understand. There are some sections within the article such as "Services" that could be shortened. Ahsieh3 (talk) 06:29, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Part 1 

message: 1. Does the draft submission reflect a neutral point of view?
Overall the article presents a neutral point of view that attempts to show non-biased information. The content of the "Controversy" and "Use" sections were handled well, but more concise and clear writing would further strengthen these sections and the article as a whole. The portion regarding the United States in the "Information about donor" subheading should be revisited. It implies that the sperm banks may not adhere to their own policies when it comes to how many times they provide sperm. It also brings into question the truthfulness of the sperm banks to provide accurate information on the donors. There are no citations for either of these claims, and so citations should be provided, or these claims should be re-written/taken out to give a more neutral tone.
