The removal of anonymity did not create a so called *shortage of "donors"* The numbers actually increased. What is your point?

DC,
Numbers increased. - Absolute Rubbish. Please show me where they did. Every single article I read contradicts what you claim. Posted by Shadow Minister, Tuesday, 9 August 2011 11:52:19 AM

Shadow Minister: If you have been following and reading what I've written and the links I've provided you with you will clearly see the evidence that "donors" did not decrease with the removal of anonymity in 2005. Here is the link to the figures again: http://www.hfea.gov.uk/3411.html
Anonymity was abolished in the UK in 2005: Here are the figures from that link 2005+ 2005 251 921 2006 287 781 2007 366 969 2008 396 1,150 Posted by donor conceived, Tuesday, 9 August 2011 12:08:12 PM

Also from the link
1993 422 1994 417 1995 412 1996 417 The usual source of Students has fallen away and has been replaced after much advertising with older men. http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/new-laws-threaten-sperm-donation-437657.html There is a growing shortage, leading to the import from overseas. In Australia, the shortage is so acute that waiting lists for donors are greater than a year. "Some clinics have blamed the decline in donor numbers on recent law changes." http://www.abc.net.au/news/2010-04-12/clinics-forced-to-advertise-for-sperm-donors/2602896 Posted by Shadow Minister, Wednesday, 10 August 2011 5:33:08 AM

The law did not change until 2005 and the numbers have increased.
