I have no way of knowing if this guy is sincere about his motivations [entirely possible] or not [also entirely possible] ~ but I'm more than a bit surprised that the recipients of his donations are willingly taking such an enormous risk based on a self-created website's content ~ Sooz

Freelance sperm donor comes under FDA investigation
By Agence France-Presse
Friday, January 27, 2012 19:23 EST

WASHINGTON — A California man who donates his sperm for free to couples who want to have a baby is being investigated by US regulators but insists he will continue his efforts as a matter of goodwill.

Trent Arsenault, 36, first attracted scrutiny from the US Food and Drug Administration in 2009 for his free sperm donations, which he says resulted in 14 births with several more babies on the way.

A cease-and-desist letter from the FDA in November 2010 did not dissuade him — there have been five pregnancies and one birth since that notice arrived, he told AFP, adding that he still has no hearing date with the regulatory agency.

“I want to continue because the amount of e-mails from childless couples has been tremendous,â€

So what is he doing wrong?
He's doing it for FREE. That's what he's doing wrong.

I saw a story about this guy on TV not long ago. And honestly, if he wasn't doing this over the internet, and wasn't on TV, I doubt he'd be facing the FDA. None of his clients have complained-quite the contrary, they've been thrilled.

He does this for free. Nobody is forced into being a client. One couple who have used his "services" do so because they're convinced that fresh sperm produces better results. They'd done several rounds with "FDA approved" sperm and had no luck. Went to Trent and she was pregnant on the first try (but miscarried). 

And it is fresh....lol....they called him on the way over, he "did his thing", handed them a cup at the door, and they inseminated right there in the car on the way home. He mixes special health shakes with ingredients that are pro-sperm, and according to him, has a sperm/motility count much higher than the general population. Eats all organic foods. As mentioned, he does post his lab test results. Gives up any parental rights, etc. 

I'd call him eccentric but sincere, based on what I saw. And yes, he has a large porn collection.Image

Yeah, but he's doing it for FREE. That cuts into the corporate profits.
Anything that does that is "illegal".

Can you imagine the EGO this guy must have? 

I agree that he hasn't done anything wrong though.  If ego was against the law the entire Republican party would be in jail.

At $200.00 a wank (market value) he should be claiming charitable donations. [img]/domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/wink.gif[/img]

"Freelance sperm donor comes under FDA investigation"

He liked the FDA on top.
