I am a great supporter of doing what you want to do.  If you want to have a baby and you want to do it without a man…ok.  No judgment here.  If you have a man and he just doesn’t have the swimmers…and you want to go elsewhere.  Fine by me!  Well apparently this is becoming less and less of an option in the UK.  In 2005 there was a change in the law that donors could keep their anonymity.   This change led to a HUGE drop in sperm donations… I CAN’T IMAGINE WHY!

Even better? This quote from the article…

“More worryingly, however, is anecdotal evidence that women patients are travelling to clinics overseas to seek treatment,” Pacey wrote. “There have also been reports of women purchasing fresh sperm online for DIY (do-it-yourself) insemination.”

I’m sorry? What?  WHAT? Let me read that again…

“There have also been reports of women purchasing fresh sperm online for DIY (do-it-yourself) insemination.”

HOW ???

All I can picture is a yoga mat, a hand mirror and some crazy injector device (turkey baster meets dart gun)!!!  I understand that there is a certain desperation in these situations (for some)… BUT some things should be left to the professionals.  Things like hair color, bikini waxes, swimming pool installation, electricity, plumbing, etc… all of those things should be done by a licensed trained professional.  SO SHOULD INSEMINATION!

Bless their hearts…
