[It’s true!](http://www.thelocal.se/20872/20090723/) > [@](#): > > One of the main causes of the shortage is Swedish legislation which allows children to seek the identity of their biological fathers after they turn 18. > > Sweden was among the first countries to grant children conceived through artificial insemination this right, according to a study done at Uppsala University Hospital. > > According to healthcare officials, the lack of anonymity deters many prospective sperm donors. > > However, the most common reason for the shortage is due to poor quality sperm, either related to deterioration while being frozen or to medical conditions. > > The sperm shortage in Sweden has led many couples to seek treatment abroad, mainly in Denmark or Finland. ---

My sister in law is Swiss, and after she was told she couldn’t conceive with her husband (who’d had chemotherapy) she wanted to use donated sperm. But she encountered the same problem as those crazy Sweedish lesbians. She ended up going to Italy to a sperm bank. It worked just fine, and her son is now 8. ---

So if I’m hitting on a Swedish babe, she might really, biologically, be a half-Danish babe? I can live with that. ---
