    Come if you think you are hard enough

    UK's national sperm bank has just 9 registered donors | Daily Mail Online


    National sperm bank has just NINE registered donors as boss plans to challenge men to 'prove their manhood'
    A year after it was established, UK's national sperm bank has 9 customers
    Chief executive Laura Witjens is set to unveil new promotional campaign
    She hopes to appeal to men's vanity in order to attract sperm donations
    No limit on donations to Europe. We could populate it with Cuk offspring. History will record the rise of 'General Land' or 'TPD Isle'

      Sorry pal, they don't do withdrawls.

        In the UK you must be under 40 (I think) to be a sperm donor

        You also have to be barking mad, because who is to say a judge won't order you to pay maintenance for any offspring fathered by your sample.

            I rather think they do, otherwise it would be a pretty useless venture.

            The laws that explicitly state you have no responsibility or right to find who you have sired, that they may find you but have no claim to you whatsoever.

              I suppose a cough might be part of the tests. But it doesn't count as a KUATB.

                That may be what the clinic claims; but I doubt if it is "the law", even if donees are willing to sign something that irrevocably waives their rights to maintenance.

                  It's what the article claims, I haven't personally read the legislation. You think in 20 years you'll get sued for passing on crap genes?
