Have you about the Nobel winners who started a sperm bank in CA?
Were they the first to start the bank, or did they win the prize for having an innovative way of running the bank?
I'm not certain. I saw a documentary about some of the kids that came from their sperm donations.
It's interesting because there are actually laws in some areas that prohibit the use of donor sperm after the donor has died?
I don't know if they were dead or not.  One family had three children from two different donors. Two are 'genius' and one is autistic.
I wonder if it was genetic or due to the procedure used to fertilize the egg
I don't think anybody knows the answer to that question.  
Now with the technology we have, females can also donate their eggs to be fertilized in a lab or frozen for later
