Abstract:
The safety system of human sperm bank is not only directly associated with the working normality of the sperm bank and the reproductive safety of insemination project, but also deeply related to the reproductive health and eugenics of the offspring. Human sperm banks in China have been formally worked for over 20 years. However, some safety problems or risks in sperm banks have been inevitably exposed during the working period. Thus, safety problems or risks of the sperm bank should be fully given attention. In this paper, potential safety problems or risks of the sperm bank were illustrated on aspects of management safety, reproductive safety, and genetic safety. In addition, views on the possible improvement of safety system were given including strengthening supervision for the sperm bank from governmental agencies, promoting academic exchange of sperm banks at home and abroad, and applying new gene sequencing techniques etc. Paying more attention on the construction of the safety system can prevent the potential safety problems or risks in sperm banks, promote high quality male fertility preservation and ensure both reproductive safety and health of assisted reproductive programs. It has positive practical significance and far-reaching social influence.
