Sweden prohibited anonymous sperm donation in 1985 and Norway in 2005. In recent years the question of continued use of sperm from anonymous sperm donors for insemination in couples and the question of insemination of single and lesbian women have been vividly debated in Denmark. This survey examines the sperm donors' attitude towards these questions and describes any changes in attitude between 1992 and 2002. The objective is to investigate the likely consequences of abolishing anonymous sperm donation in Denmark.
A questionnaire survey carried out among donors at a private Danish sperm bank, Cryos-International Sperm Bank Ltd. Over a period of 9 weeks in 2002 an anonymous questionnaire was handed out to all donors who were in contact with the sperm bank. The results were compared to a questionnaire survey carried out in 1992 at the same sperm bank.
In 2002, 25% (19% approved; 35% non-approved) of the donors stated that they would continue as donors if anonymity was abolished, whereas in 1992 the number was 32%. But when donors were asked whether they would accept that the children could contact them, only 22% agreed in 1992 and 13% (15% approved; 10% non-approved) in 2002. Altruistic as well as financial motives were the main factors for becoming a donor in both 1992 and 2002. Approximately 50% would accept sperm donation to lesbians in both surveys. In 2002 approximately one third was positive towards donation to single women.
Maintaining anonymity is still important for the vast majority of the donors.
瑞典于1985年禁止匿名捐精，挪威于2005年禁止。近年来，丹麦就继续使用匿名捐精者的精子为夫妇进行人工授精的问题以及为单身女性和女同性恋者进行人工授精的问题展开了激烈辩论。这项调查研究了捐精者对这些问题的态度，并描述了1992年至2002年间态度的任何变化。目的是调查在丹麦废除匿名捐精可能产生的后果。
在丹麦一家私人精子库——国际冷冻精子库有限公司对捐精者进行问卷调查。2002年，在9周的时间里，向所有与该精子库有联系的捐精者发放了一份匿名问卷。结果与1992年在同一精子库进行的问卷调查结果进行了比较。
2002年，25%（19%赞成；35%不赞成）的捐精者表示，如果废除匿名制，他们将继续担任捐精者，而1992年这一比例为32%。但是，当捐精者被问及是否会接受孩子与他们联系时，1992年只有22%的人同意，2002年为13%（15%赞成；10%不赞成）。1992年和2002年，利他动机和经济动机都是成为捐精者的主要因素。在两项调查中，约50%的人会接受为女同性恋者提供捐精。2002年，约三分之一的人对为单身女性提供捐精持积极态度。
对绝大多数捐精者来说，保持匿名仍然很重要。
