Your paper’s report on the continuing restrictions on European human sperm donations for artificial insemination of American women is deeply disturbing. [Mad Cow Rules Hit Sperm Banks’ Patrons, Washington Post, Aug 13, Page A01]

Since the outbreak of the mad cow disease in Europe there is the real danger that European sperm could lead to the fatal, untreatable Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in American citizens.

These federal government restrictions are thereby wise and should under no circumstances be abolished.

Meanwhile your report fails to point out how an irresponsible U.S. Food and Drug Administration allowed huge holes in its regulation which seriously endanger the National Security of the United States of America.

Indeed Mrs. Julie Peterson, who’s case you narrate, is now traveling to
Denmark for artificial insemination. Our government must make sure that
she will not come back unless she submits to a thorough examination.

Coming to think of it, why does the Transport Security Agency still
allow male European travelers of generative age into our beloved
country? These men are likely by far the greatest source of European
sperm donations to America, cutting out the sperm bank middleman and
making direct deposits.

How many among the flower of American womanhood are risking disaster
for themselves and endanger our nation’s security, every night, by
accepting these contributions?

This is deeply worrying. Immediate legislation should be introduced
to bar European men from coming to our shores and to prohibit them from
having relations with American women abroad. Marriage to European men
at risk of transmitting this plague must be verboten unless such men
submit to a strict three year long quarantine on Ellis Island!
