The
world’s largest sperm bank is now turning down redheaded donors because
there is too little demand for their sperm. Cryos Director Ole Schou
said that there had been a surge in donations in recent years, allowing
the facility to become much more picky about its donors. Schou said the
only reliable demand for sperm from redheaded donors is from Ireland,
where he said it sold “like hot cakes.” Cryos’s stores have now reached
their peak capacity of 70 liters of semen – and a waiting list of 600
donors. Schou said sperm from donors with brown hair and brown eyes was
particularly in demand, because of the bank’s large customer base in
Spain, Italy and Greece. Indian sperm was also hard to find because
India does not allow sperm or eggs to be exported, causing a problem for
childless international Indians. Cryos pays donors up to $500 and sends
its semen to over 65 countries worldwide. The only continent where
sperm has not been sent is Antarctica.
