Every sperm is sacred...
A Scottish IVF clinic was forced to shut down due to the recent shortage of sperm donors. New legislation forces sperm donors to give their identity which has led to a dramatic decrease in donors.
What I find particularly distressing about this article is that the clinic continued to have patients undergo the beginnings of the lengthy, and often painful, IVF treatments until they had completely run out of sperm!
"The clinic sent out letters to patients - some of whom were halfway through a course - to tell them they have to go back on another city's waiting list."
My brain's jsut wrong...but I had to share (maybe because my brain's just wrong).
Why, when reading this, did my brain hear the sound of a straw slurping at the bottom of an emtpy milkshake?

This is a nation which devours deep fried chocolate and pizza. A shortage of sperm should be no surprise to anyone.
