Home sperm deliveries are being offered in the Netherlands by an Australian-born entrepreneur who will launch a private fertility company - Baby Donors International - next month. John Michaels, 35, said his company would deliver fresh sperm, chosen from a catalogue, and home insemination kits at a starting fee of €2500 ($A4393).
"Hello, my name is John. I’ll be your home insemination kit today".
"It’s an alternative to women going to a bar and picking up a guy, putting an ad in the paper or asking a friend," said Mr Michaels, who boasted the company could deliver to clients in Amsterdam "within the hour".
There’s a name for that.
He denied illegally marketing sperm and eggs, insisting he was acting merely as a pimp broker between prospective parents, donors and clinics. Baby Donors International, which also promotes itself as a travel and dating service, hoped to establish franchises in Europe, Britain, the United States, Asia and Australia.
