I heard a radio advert explaining that local sperm donation is being encouraged with £35 returned in payment. I am not sure ho I feel about it, other than the money would be welcome (if you get paid per donation)??

Does anyone know the criteria and what is actually involved?

Im getting lazier each year !

It's you who make the payment, not receive it LOL

If you get paid then surely it no longer qualifies as a donation ?

I am going to research the radio ad now

and anyway, read the rules first. I think that any children conceived with your sperm can contact you, so do you want hundreds of kids turning up on your doorstep??

No, you dont pay, you receive the payment
Not sure what the criteria is, but it's very sexist. women are not paid for their eggs

I don't think that sounds enough money for such a 'donation'.
You will have to undergo some medical checks for inherited diseases, etc.

Netbitza is wrong BTW

So how does that work, is it by prior appointment or do you just crack one of on the way to the pub for beer money?

Ive had the snip so I dont think they will want mine.

Laws change all the time. If you are in the records sooner or later folk will likely be allowed to trace their natural parents, if only to check for possible health issues in later life.
