Looking for a sperm donor but not the risks, secrecy, or guesswork?
In this episode of HealthYouniversity, we interview Daniel Bayón, an open, ethical sperm donor who was donor-conceived himself and founded the Sperm Donor Association (SDA). We cover how open donation works, how donors and recipients are vetted, legal protections, realistic success rates per cycle, costs & travel, and why transparency and child-first ethics matter for your family’s future.

What you’ll learn
Open Donor 101: What “open & ethical” truly means (transparency on numbers, availability to the child, no inflated claims).
Safety & Screening: Genetic testing, STI screening, mental-health evaluation, lifestyle standards.
Legal & Logistics: Contracts, jurisdiction pitfalls, avoiding lawsuits, why SDA is a network (not a bank).
Cost & Access: Travel, pricing ethics, and how demand is met without compromising child-first values.
Recipient Fit: Who typically applies (SMBC, LGBTQ+ couples), red flags, and why SDA prescreens recipients too.
Why it matters: Choosing a biological father is a lifelong decision here’s how to do it safely, ethically, and transparently.

FAQ quick hits
Is “open donor” the same as co-parenting?
Not necessarily. Openness = transparency, child-available; it’s not automatically co-parenting.
Will I know how many half-siblings exist?
Open donors disclose counts and general locations while protecting family privacy.
Do donors get tested?
Yes—genetic & STI screening + mental-health evaluation, plus lifestyle standards (no smoking, etc.).
Who uses open donors?
Commonly SMBC and lesbian couples, plus some trans or infertile partner scenarios.
