I think you missed the idea. Your explosive device could still come in handy though.
But you freeze the sperm at the peak of freshness. Then you wait and see how the donor does. If they live to a ripe old age without old age diseases, then go select their sperm. Otherwise, destroy it.
You can probably do this with eggs too. When a child is desired, select an egg and a sperm off the shelf, and there you go. Easy peasy. Your device ensures only munitions experts can procreate outside the system, and I think we'll need a lot of munitions experts in the ensuing generations.
I would think the end goal would be to remove the need for frozen sperm, which we can do once we verify that the 60+ year old donors are still producing healthy swimmers. No sense in going just halfway with the Brave New Worlding.
