For couples who can't conceive, sperm donors can be life savers, or, life givers. As of November 2024, at least 2,343 New Zealand children have been conceived with the help of donated sperm, and New Zealand fertility clinics are always on the lookout for more donors.
Who's allowed to be a sperm donor? In New Zealand law, is a sperm donor a father to the child, or something else? The information can be hard to sift through.
Doctor Olivia Stuart is a gynaecologist and obstetrician with Fertility Associates, and she joined Emile Donovan to demystify the world of sperm donation.
