AI Overview
The cost of purchasing donor sperm, often referred to as "good semen," can vary significantly depending on factors like the type of donor (anonymous, open, or ID disclosed), the type of vial (IUI, ICI, ART), and the sperm bank, ranging from around $1,195 to over $2,300 per vial.

The part about donors being marketed like Marvel heroes ("Happy Hockey Yogi," "Marathon Man") is fascinating. It raises the question: is this just a natural extension of wanting the best for your child, or are we heading into a strange world of "designer babies" where people are shopping for traits instead of just a healthy donor? It feels like a very blurry ethical line.
