中国的精子库本就面临捐献者不足的问题,而"全面二孩"政策或许将加剧精子库资源紧张。
China's sperm banks are already facing a shortage of donors, and the two-child policy may put more pressure on the institutions.
据报道,"全面二孩"政策宣布后,越来越多的不孕不育夫妇前往当地医院和精子库咨询。
According to reports, a growing number of couples with fertility problems have visited local hospitals and sperm banks for consultations since the two-child policy announcement.
南昌市医科所附属医院生殖中心护士长薛洁表示,"实际上,来咨询生二孩的不孕不育夫妇有所增加。"
"Actually, there has been a rise in the number of infertile couples who have come to ask about having a second child," said Xue Jie, a head nurse with the reproductive center of the hospital affiliated with the Nanchang Research Institute of Medical Sciences.
根据中国人口学会2012年底的数据,我国不孕不育患者已达4000万人,占到20岁至49岁人口的12.5%。
According to statistics released by the China Population Association at the end of 2012, 40m people have fertility issues, accounting for 12.5% of the population aged between 20 and 49.
