FAMILY LIMIT POLICY
Family Slots
Copenhagen Sperm Bank is proud to use a Family Slot registry to track the number of families utilizing a donor at any given time. Owning a slot allows a family to have access to available vials for their donor of choice for current and future treatments.
This program is part of our transparency efforts and adherence to our family limit policy, allotting each sperm donor to a maximum number of families in region wide.
