A benevolent SF Bay man has gotten himself into quite a sticky mess with the government for running a free , ad - hoc sperm bank off his website . He ’s alreadyfathered 14 children with his donationsand more are on the way of life . He think it ’s Jacob’s ladder , but now the feds wanna shut him down .
The FDA has release a warning and sent a cease - and - refrain letter to Trent Arsenault of Fremont saying that he had better drop by the wayside discharge his unregulated nerve or pay the price . Arsenault has been giving away his sperm online through his websiteTrentDonorfor five years to people who need children but ca n’t yield traditional clinics . That ’s awfully nice of him , but regrettably “ informal spermatozoan contribution ” is illegal because it violate FDA regulations on human cells and is penal by up to a year in prison and a $ 100,000 mulct .
Arsenault maintains an implausibly comprehensive dossier of information about himself on the site with all the information somebody research a giver would probably want to acknowledge . He posts everything from his height and weighting to pictures of him over his whole life to a criminal background signal impediment to his personal chronicle to selective information about the nestling he ’s fathered . Arsenault treats the whole operation like a tangible clinic . There ’s even a downloadable bestower agreement for citizenry who are interested . The whole site actually paint the picture of a earnest , well - adjusted mankind . Until you see the pictures ofa vial of seminal fluid . ( YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED ! ) mayhap that ’s the kind of matter an interested political party would require to see , but it just seems really really weird . [ MSNBCviaJohn C Abell ]
