Tasmanian sperm drought as mainlanders drain the bank

TASMANIAN Health Minister Lara Giddings has called on the state's men to help end the state's sperm drought.
The Sunday Tasmanian reported yesterday that Tasmania was down to its last four sperm donors and for the first time in the program's 35-year history women will have to go on a waiting list.

The state's IVF director Bill Watkins said fewer men donating sperm, and more interstate women draining the state's dwindling stocks, had caused the problem.
