I don't think additional sperm donors will increase the population - I don't think lack of donors is the bottleneck.

Saving lives probably doesn't either, if the demographic transition model is true. At least, saving child lives probably results in lower birthrates - perhaps saving adults doesn't affect birthrate.

Depends on the country.

I'm told there are areas where it's illegal to get paid to "donate" sperm. I think it's a bottleneck there.
