Who really owns our bodies? Is it us, our parents, the government, the state, or even a higher power? These questions spark a fair amount of discussion throughout our country. Specifically who has the power to choose if you can have children. When people have trouble with this there is a simple answer: Go to a sperm bank or adopt children. People that want the actual experience of being pregnant will most likely choose to go a sperm bank and get it surgically implanted. The big question is: Is this their right to do this act?

There are recipient registration fees, identity-release and anonymous fees, storage fees, donor profile fees, and shipping/pick up fees.

Couples all over the world plan pregnancies but they are never certain that the egg will get fertilised and they will get pregnant that day. I understand that you don’t have a 100% chance of the egg getting fertilised with the implantation either, but it is a higher percent than natural conception. “Results show that the cumulative live birth rate using assisted reproductive technologies (ART), under optimal conditions, was 75 percent after three cycles of treatment. However, this rate increased to 81 percent when transferring blastocyst embryos (transferred on day five or six) compared to 65 percent for cleavage embryos (Bowen 2000). The estimated rates of conceiving naturally are 45 percent, 65 percent and 85 percent after three, six and 12 months, respectively” (Spain 2012).
Overall is this process cheating our creator? Even if you don’t believe in God, is this a right thing to do?
