Trade secrets from a sperm bank in India. Interview by Jyotsna Agnihotri Gupta.
نویسنده
چکیده
Dr X: It is mainly private clinics, but [also] individual people; hospitals much less. They’re doing [semen collection] on their own premises also. We have a small bank. We get almost 10 donors every day. We try to do our work as thoroughly and as honestly as possible; because there is a lot of ghapla [corruption] in this field in sperm banks. You may not know about it. As for private practitioners I don’t want to say anything about them whatever they’re doing, it is between them and the patient. But we’re doing our work very honestly and extremely meticulously. We take a donor’s sample and analyse it, and if it is suitable we ask the donor to come and donate. We do all the checks for infectious diseases, HIV, jaundice, etc. We allow them to come twice a week, at the most. Actually, a donor can keep on coming and donating if his sperm counts are normal, and motility and everything else is good. As compensation donors receive some money.
