With an increasing number of people relying on sperm donation to have babies — from lesbian couples to heterosexual ones, where the male partner is infertile, or a woman who decides to have a child on her own — the demand for sperm banks has also increased. This has, in turn, meant sperm banks must recruit more donors. But recruiting new donors is not always an easy task — especially in the UK and Australia where it is illegal to pay donors or preserve their anonymity.

Instead, sites like 23andMe and Ancestry. That, clinics and outside experts say, has forced a reckoning for the industry. And in at least one case, a clinic has sought to draw a line in the sand, ordering a woman to cease and desist efforts to contact a long-ago donor she had identified after using 23andMe. Donor anonymity is also an issue for egg donors, but less so.
