Sperm sharing should be subject to the same regulatory oversight as egg sharing, argues expert

The practice of sperm sharing-whereby a man must make a minimum of 10 sperm donations in exchange for a reduction in the cost of his partner's fertility treatment-should be subject to the same regulatory oversight as egg sharing, argues a mental health doctor in the Journal of Medical Ethics.

'Retinal age gap' can be an independent predictor of increased mortality risk

The difference between the biological age of the retina, the light sensitive layers of nerve tissue at the back of the eye, and a person's real (chronological) age, is linked to their risk of death, finds research published online in the British Journal of Ophthalmology.
