a href=”https://www.theguardian.com/science/article/2024/aug/18/you-feel-a-bit-mass-produced-donor-conceived-people-on-the-export-of-uk-sperm”>Experts have warned that sperm donated in the UK is being exported and used to create large numbers of children across multiple countries, contradicting a strict 10-family limit that applies in the UK.A legal loophole means that while a single donor can be used to create no more than 10 families in UK fertility clinics, there are no restrictions on companies making sperm or eggs available for additional fertility treatments abroad.
Sperm is also imported into the country. Which must face the same problems.
The problem being that the limitations upon who may donate being so strict that there aren’t enough who meet them.
Sperm is also imported into the country
More draught than bottled.
Is this a maculate conception?
“Sperm is also imported into the country.” If you bill it, they will come.
A sticky situation.
Spunking all that money on sperm: it’s a disgrace.
This is bizarre tho. Please read this woman’s complaint:
Halden is a solo mother by choice and used donor sperm to conceive twin daughters, who were born in 2019.
Mmmkay.
Halden, who is a senior lecturer at Birkbeck, University of London, has a professional background in bioethics but says she was unaware of the possibility of her donor’s sperm being exported. “I selected a UK donor that I believed would be used for a maximum of 10 families. Everybody makes different decisions, but for me I wanted to keep the donor sibling pool as small as I could within my control.”
When she revisited her donor’s profile page some time after her daughters’ birth, however, she was alarmed to see a note stating “export only”. “I was blindsided. I felt as if I perhaps wouldn’t have made the decision I’d made if I’d thought exportation was an option.”
“I wouldn’t have bought your cum if I’d known you were selling it to France.”
When she contacted the clinic, she was referred to the terms and conditions of the consent forms she had signed. “Sure enough, it was buried in there,” she said. After raising the issue on a local social media group, she realised others were making similar discoveries.
So she checked the jizz T’s and C’s, and sure enough, there it was in watery white ink. A slippery set, these spermatozoa salesmen.
If complaining about quim dealers as if you were leaving a peevish 2-star review on Amazon wasn’t enough Guardian,
Renouf-Macnab, 29, connected with four biological half siblings after taking part in the ITV documentary Born From the Same Stranger […]
“I feel proud to be part of a heritage that’s really connected to women’s rights, fertility rights, LGBT rights,” he says.
Mate, your heritage is wanking into a plastic cup.
Renouf-Macnab would like to see tighter regulation of the industry
A firmer grip, and don’t forget to cough.
The numbers are a lot higher than I thought. There are roughly 600,000 births per year in the UK; of which 2,800 are from donor sperm. (2019 data from the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, so it might not include couples who travel abroad for services.)
Why this strange modern way of getting a bun in the oven? Beer goggles used to cause a lot of it when I was a lad.
but for me I wanted to keep the donor sibling pool as small as I could within my control.”
And she would have had control if the impregnation had been natural? One thinks not, love. Although many women have believed they had.
