Successful pregnancy using known donor oocytes fertilized in vitro by spermatozoa obtained by electro-ejaculation...

A 34-year-old quadriplegic man with a C6/C7 spinal cord lesion of 10 years' duration fathered a child with his 35-year-old wife who had undergone a premature menopause 10 years earlier. Pregnancy was achieved from in-vitro fertilization of two oocytes donated by the wife's sister using spermatozoa from the husband obtained by repeated electro-ejaculation techniques. A healthy male infant weighing 2250 g was delivered by Caesarean section at 37 weeks following mild pre-eclampsia.
