The FDA claims the sperm he "donates" hasn't been tested for nasties, which is true. All sperm donated through a sperm bank has to be tested. He claims he's been tested for STD's and other things and he's negative so no one should care. Besides, his method of donation is exempt from the rules

Now, as to his motivations...

"As to what motivates Arsenault, his website contains 10 bullet point descriptions including his “spirit of volunteering to the community,” his respect for women, his faith in God, and his rejection of powerful corporations that profit from commercial sperm banks."

But, note this...

"Arsenault has appealed the FDA’s order on the basis that “he could provide documentation by and testimony from women to whom he had donated…. that he was a sexually intimate partner,” according to legal documents."
