Find a gamete bank that gives maximum verifiable info about donors, I guess.

Why is it? I'd assume they're not wealthy but this doesn't mean they're not taking good decisions, does it?

A lot of sperm donors are grad students at elite universities trying to get by on low stipends.

That's where I was going. Not necessarily that extreme case but many people need money and are not bad at decisions.
-
I wonder if there's a bank with specialization: "I want it to be from a grad student in behavioral econ, but not in finance or lib arts"

I thought about that for a second, then I realized that doing that would not change my requirements for a mate at all. For the win.
