Sweden was in 1985 the first country in the world to enact legislation concerned with the practice of donor insemination (DI). Included in this legislation was the requirement that information about the identity of the donors be kept and be made available to the resultant offspring upon 'maturity', should they seek this. This provision has attracted much interest, debate and criticism, and claims have been made that this has led to a decline in the numbers of men coming forward to donate semen in Sweden. This paper presents data covering the pre- and post-legislation period from one clinic, along with the only available data on all the Swedish clinics providing DI, which covers a more limited post-legislation period. This data shows that there has been an increase in number of donors being recruited, suggesting that the possibility of future contact by genetic offspring has not had the negative impact on the availability of donors predicted.
瑞典在1985年成为世界上第一个颁布有关供体人工授精（DI）实施的立法的国家。该立法包括一项要求，即保存供体身份信息，并在后代“成年”后（如果他们寻求这些信息）向其提供。这一规定引起了广泛关注、辩论和批评，有人声称这导致了瑞典自愿捐献精液的男性数量下降。本文展示了来自一家诊所的立法前后时期的数据，以及瑞典所有提供DI的诊所仅有的可用数据，这些数据涵盖的立法后时期更为有限。这些数据表明，招募的供体数量有所增加，这表明基因后代未来可能进行接触这一情况并未对供体的可获得性产生预期的负面影响。
