Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says Trent Arsenault has violated the law. Men from Fremont, California has been active as a sperm donor since 2004. Unfortunately he did not do it in an official clinic or sperm bank, but through their own web site that is trentdonor.org.
This action is illegal, because the FDA believed that sperm donors should be regulated by the government. Legal dispute between the FDA and Arsenault had been going on for over a year.
"I help people in need. I do not ask money for it, I also do not charge anything. I'm just helping couples who can not have children of their own," explains Trent Arsenault (36 years), as reported by FoxNews on Saturday (10/12 / 2011).
FDA considers Arsenault as 'manufacturers of human cells' because despite claiming never to have sex with women, he has actively donated sperm and fathering 14 children.
According to a letter from the FDA, Arsenault company located in Fremont, Calif., has been collecting and distributing semen. That's why he is regarded as a producer of human cells.
Arsenault who worked as a computer security expert in Silicon Valley, said he did not understand why the FDA was involved and he feared the case would interfere with his work.
"But I think my boss would support," said Arsenault.
He said entry into the partnership desired by couples with no children and he does not feel the need to subject to the same standards to the sperm bank.
"The semen provided by fresh (not frozen) and shipped directly to the recipient. Health funds the child's mother is my maximum attention," he said.
Arsenault said he will retain the services of nonprofit Cause of Action, which fought for taxpayers to government regulations and will be represented at the FDA hearing.
"Once the FDA inspector was sent to my room, the FDA issued an order saying I had to stop to help couples have babies without government approval," he added.
Arsenault said more than 20,000 e-mail request come through his website, and he will continue to donate sperm to the FDA to make an official decision.
As written earlier detikHealth, since it was first donated sperm in 2006, totaling together Arsenault has 328 times the donated his sperm to 50 women. Most of the women who use sperm Arsenault is a lesbian couple from the region around San Francisco.
Despite doing all of that with the voluntary and do not get a dime in return, Arsenault did not want to over-exert yourself. In one day he just want to donate sperm to a maximum of one-time, with the provision should be contacted via SMS 15 minutes before the sperm.
It was intended that Arsenault had enough time to prepare physically, so that the sperm produced really good quality. One of the preparations Arsenault is eating a special concoction consisting of blueberries, kiwi fruit and flaxseed.
