The private clinic “Chiron” of Donostia-San Sebastián offers from September the same service as the one already offered by the Cruces Hospital of Bizkaia. They will be able to attend this Assisted Reproduction Unit young from 18 to 22 years. A questionnaire and a study will be carried out and the diseases that are spread through the seed will be carefully cared for (hepatitis B, AIDS, etc. ). ).

Young people will receive between 2,000 and 5,000 pesetas as seed. In this way, it is intended to avoid the donation of the seed for money. Once the delivered seed is frozen, it will be stored in the laboratory for six months, and if after this period the results of the study are satisfactory, this seed can be used and this young person can give more seeds.

Women donors are more difficult to find, since they have to take a treatment to favor ovulation, in addition to spending studies like boys.
