semen, blood, and breast milk are all biohazardous fluids, which may be contaminated by disease.
all 3 should be illegal to sell, without proper medical license and equipment for screening, etc.

From the OPs link

I thought he was selling, but he is giving his jizz away.

The FDA alleges that Arsenault did not take the legally required precautions to prevent the spread of communicable diseases.

Although Arsenault has attracted sympathy from various people who believe the FDA's edict sets a dangerous precedent, other activities of his have aroused controversy, such as the 100-plus videos he has posted online showing him masturbating with unusual aids such as a water polo ball and frozen packs of organic blueberries.

The FDA, which regulates sperm banks, has issued Arsenault a cease-and-desist order. It states Arsenault's Fremont "firm" is distributing semen and is therefore a "manufacturer of human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products."

The FDA alleges that Arsenault did not take the legally required precautions to prevent the spread of communicable diseases.

He could be liable for a $100,000 fine and up to a year in prison. Arsenault is the first-known private sperm donor in the U.S. to face FDA sanction.
