Semen Donation Drops in Spain; Experts Warn of Critical Future

Male semen donors in Spain have been declining sharply in recent years, creating a gap between rising demand from fertility clinics and the shrinking supply. Experts attribute the drop to the lengthy, restrictive donation process that deters many potential donors.

They also note that the modest €50 compensation per sample fails to attract sufficient interest. Health authorities are now considering awareness campaigns and better incentives to reverse the trend.
