Neyleen AshleyGUEST
And I'm fertile myrtle, so give it to me.

Neyleen AshleyGUEST
Just go to the bathroom now and rub one out and give it to me.
Ryan PownallHOST
Listen, I've had...

Neyleen AshleyGUEST
You said you were hungry.
Ryan PownallHOST
Nalina, I am praying for the downfall of your relationship.
Neyleen AshleyGUEST
I'm going to the sperm bank right now.
Ryan PownallHOST
For what?
María EvaHOST
So, yeah, I think that it's very important, but they could do more because we know how much Airbnb affects cities.
RachelHOST
Okay, so speaking of regulation, again, we're talking about the European Sperm Bank.
RachelHOST
Another scandal is unfolding.
RachelHOST
So remember that I applied for that communications officer job there last year? Yes, you were very excited.
RachelHOST
Thank God I didn't get it.
RachelHOST
That's all I'll say.
RachelHOST
So you might remember that the last time we were talking about the Danish Sperm Bank, we were talking about... donor 7069 who has been called Kjeld.
RachelHOST
So this was a scandal that was tracing back to a single sperm donor who goes by the alias of Kjeld or Kjeld, who appeared to be completely healthy and passed all the standard screenings, but had this particular gene mutation that caused cancer up to 90% chance of those embryos or children developing cancer.
Maria WalshGUEST
And I share that because for me, that was my place.
Maria WalshGUEST
But I always said the caveat of... a woman or a partnership needs to find their own place and but they for me were my happy place and they really treated me like an extended member of the family and they team up with Reaper Med in Galway and We had the European Sperm Bank for donations.
Maria WalshGUEST
I know we'll get a donation for a donor and I know we'll get into that.
Maria WalshGUEST
But effectively, the journey then really started.
Eleanor DrageHOST
I'm in conversation with Kelly Fritch, who is Canada Research Chair in Disability, Health and Social Justice, and Associate Professor of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Colton University, and Anne McGuire, who is Full Professor and Director of the Programme for Critical Studies, Inequity and Solidarity at the University of Toronto, and we're discussing their brilliant book, Broken Worlds, Disabled Kin, Strategies for Collective Survival.
Eleanor DrageHOST
In this second part, we'll be talking about sperm banks, schizophrenia and the importance of palliative care.
Eleanor DrageHOST
So welcome back.
Eleanor DrageHOST
Thank you for having us.

Eleanor DrageHOST
And I found that a really interesting and surprising intervention.
Eleanor DrageHOST
But then I was even more surprised when we ended up in the sperm bank, which is a place I did not expect to be in this book.
Eleanor DrageHOST
And you say how the legitimacy of sperm banks is haunted by the dread of disability.
Eleanor DrageHOST
And sperm and egg banks still carry a eugenicist flavor.
Jerry ReccoPANELIST
Speaking of commercials and making money, here's a sperm read for everybody.
Jerry ReccoPANELIST
Get your sperm nuggets at California Cryobank.
Jerry ReccoPANELIST
Could you imagine if
Boomer EsiasonHOST
they had that on the NFL today? Oh, yeah.
DanHOST
Yeah.
DanHOST
Instead we go straight from this to, "Oh, they're, they're running out of money," so what do they do? Go to a sperm bank.
DanHOST
And, uh-
MichaelHOST
Yeah
Amy SmartSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The
BradHOST
sperm bank nurse is Marla Sucharezza? Sucharezza? yeah dude i'm so terrified of snakes but of course this is hilarious how he looks at them and then the snake The sperm bank nurse was in some Law and Order.
BradHOST
She was also in Forrest Gump as Lenore, but I don't know who that is offhand.
BradHOST
She hasn't acted since possibly
Maria WalshGUEST
But for me, like, you're given a checklist, like, okay, you know, here's what you need to do.
Maria WalshGUEST
So I worked through the European Sperm Bank.
Dee KellyHOST
Okay.
Maria WalshGUEST
And my team are going to kill me for saying this, but this is fact.
Maria WalshGUEST
If dating websites were as detailed and emotionally developed as the European Sperm Bank, like there's maybe a 50% chance I'd be in a happy relationship right now, right? So you go on, wrong gender, but you get the
Dee KellyHOST
idea.
Maria WalshGUEST
So for me, I went on and You know, obviously, Ireland is a small island, so there's there's legal settings around the sperm choice so that we you don't have multiple cases.
Maria WalshGUEST
And if I was in a partnership to the legal complications agency, If the sperm was from outside of Ireland, then the legal setting for me and my partner, whomever was carrying the child, would also be challenged and quite difficult.
Ricki-Lee CoulterHOST
us a call.
Tim BlackwellHOST
Okay, because we're talking about this because I read this story yesterday that sperm banks... are starting to become extremely picky, like really picky, as in like Tinder picky, as in like going on a date and like having a list of things that you definitely need the person to be like, and if they're not, you're out, picky.
Tim BlackwellHOST
Most major sperm makes in the US, not here in Australia, but it could be a sign of what's to come, they now won't accept donors

Siobhan O'HaganGUEST
I mean they said you might remember it or you might not and I just remember waking up having biscuits I love that and they tell you how many eggs you got and then so that's like that's the egg freezing part and then Then they go and put the sperm in.
Siobhan O'HaganGUEST
So like the donor sperm you select on the European Sperm Bank.
Siobhan O'HaganGUEST
This
Nathalie LennonHOST
is something I know nothing about is finding a sperm donor.
