title: [The problem of marital infertility caused by the male partner pathology in view of potential semen donors].
abstract: An inquiry was carried out in 91 students of the V year of Medical Academy, potential semen donors for artificial insemination, for gaining an insight into the degree of acceptance of this problem in their present situation and in assumed possible infertility of them or their partners, and the foreseen results of sociocultural consequences of the infertility of one of the partners in a married couple, as regarded by the responders. The highest grade of acceptance of semen donation for heterologous insemination was shown by students living in cities and coming from the families of the intelligentsia. Among the factors determining this attitude the most frequent were: altruistic attitude, followed by economic gains. Religion had only a slight influence on this attitude. In the studied group a higher acceptance was gained in case of female infertility by resolving the problem by use of the so called proxy-mother, than by artificial insemination in case of male infertility. Nearly half the responders supported adoption of a child in preference to artificial insemination, while heterologous insemination was preferred mainly by responders coming from small towns and villages.
