Abstract: The advances in sperm frozen technologies along with the sperm bank promoted the artificial insemination by donor, which brought more opportunities for paternity for many infertile couples. However, the ethical issue related to the artificial insemination by donor has gradually been in a hot topic. Disputes are focused on the following six topics: the source of sperm, the limited number of donor offspring, the age of donator, cross-border service of the artificial insemination by donor; the right of recipients to choose donors, the right of anonymity, and the right of offsprings to be informed. We here summarized our standpoint and suggestion, based on the legislation at home and abroad and the present social phenomenon. The donor selection should be based on physical condition, beside the social status and position. The maximum number of donor offspring should be in a properly increased range, more than five. The donor age should be properly decreased. The cross-border service of artificial insemination by donor is not feasible at present. The anonymity should be kept on, while the right of recipient to choose donor should be prudently considered.
