Sperm freezing question
Posted: Sat May 17, 2014 12:03 pm
I've got a question about freezing sperm. (Not sure if it is the right forum to post it).
Any coincidences are purely accidental.
Say, some hypothetical potential eunuch thinks about potentially asexually reproducing and having hypothetical kids at a future date. (Ok, I stop my abuse of English language, this part was not accidental :p). Or sperm is collected before the surgery/chemotherapy due to prostate/testicular/other cancer.
What is the time frame, when frozen sperm stays usable?
I got curious and after some reading got very different time frames from "three years" to "indefinitely, if properly stored".
Can anyone give the time frame in question?
