Earlier this year, the Genetic Literacy Project released a report stating that the Black sperm donor shortage is also at an all-time high because the process is extremely selective, and only one in every 1,000 applicants (of all races) makes it through the screening process. The process consists of semen analysis, an extensive, three-generation medical history, infectious-disease testing, and a criminal background check. Donors with felony convictions are excluded from the selection process, reducing the supply.
