      I think my work improves lives, at least I hope so.

      Having a child is very important to a lot of people and we help them do that if couples need a little help when things don’t happen naturally. We also freeze sperm for the likes of cancer patients so they too have the chance to have their own child in the future.

      Also, when we test sperm there are certain things that we can come across that could show an underlying condition. Some underlying conditions are serious and need treatment so in that sense, we help patients that way too.
