How do you ask a friend to be a sperm donor? Does having the specimen pass through the hands of a doctor really help to sever his parental rights/responsibilities (in Canada)? [more inside]

I'm a twenty-six-year-old fraternal twin, writing on behalf of both of us. Our mother has just revealed to us that the man we know as Dad is not our biological father. And the only person who knew the identity of our biological father...is dead. [more inside]

Can you really make money by walking into a sperm bank and making an anonymous sperm donation (as seen in many low-brow comedies)? I certainly can't imagine some homeless guy making money that way, but perhaps some 6'3" Princeton grad...

If I had to guess, the potential supply for sperm donations is much greater than the demand and that clinics have to fend off the wackos with a stick. Is that true?

Has anyone ever anonymously donated sperm? Or donated sperm non-anonymously? Would you? What would possess you to do such a thing?
