Say What | There is now an App to let you order for a Sperm Donor

London Sperm Bank Donors has just launched a mobile app that allows would-be parents to search for the sperm donor of their dreams on-the-go, with filters for medical history, looks, occupation, highest educational degree, height, nationality, religion, and race. Each profile even has a lovingly written description of the donor’s personality — it’s like a dating app, but with fewer photos, to ensure anonymity (pen sketches of some donors are available), more information, and a guarantee that the profiles are actually accurate: Since every donor has been vetted within an inch of their life, no one gets to add fake inches to their height, unlike your last Tinder date. 

You can also create a “wish-list” of ideal donor characteristics and get notifications on your phone when a donor who matches them joins the registry. Sperm-shopping has never been so convenient.

Of course, doomsayers are already heralding the app, which London Sperm Bank Donors says is the first of its kind in the world, as the end of society as we know it. 

“How much further can we go in the trivialization of parenthood?” Josephine Quintavalle, co-founder of pro-life organization Comment on Reproductive Ethics, told British newspaper The Times. “This is the ultimate denigration of fatherhood.” It’s not as if people weren’t already selecting their own sperm donors, though. They just couldn’t do it on their phones, but now, people can search for a baby daddy as easily as they order Thai, and I’m so into it. If I’m looking for a Dutch atheist with a PhD in neuroscience to provide half of my future child’s genome, I can find him within seconds. I’d still have to come up with the £950 or $1,221 required to have his sperm delivered to my local fertility clinic, but since window-shopping is free, here are three donors whose sperm I would happily introduce to my eggs.

A look at some of the ads already created shows that even Nigeria origin has started listing their sperm for sale. Pls, is this even safe? I will have to call my doctor friend for find more about this!!!
