Teenage sperm donors09 Mar 2006
Doctors treating young male cancer patients are being urged to encourage them to bank their sperm. Researchers at Manchester University say sufferers as young as thirteen should be offered advice on sperm banking. Future fertility is not a priority for young boys so why isn't sperm banking offered as a routine part of their treatment? 

Jenni talks to Dr Guy Makin, Senior Lecturer in Paediatric Oncology, University of Manchester and Dan Jones, teenage cancer sufferer.
