Birth of First Internet Sperm Bank Baby
"The birth of the first internet spermbank baby was announced yesterday - a healthy boy whose arrival exposes a hole in the regulations that govern fertility treatment.

The 10lb 2oz boy was the result of a purchase of sperm by a couple in the south-east of England from a British-based website which claims to be the only one of its kind.

ManNotIncluded.com is able to bypass all the rules and the scrutiny that fertility clinics have to endure because it does not offer treatment - it acts only as an introduction agency, to bring together men willing to sell their anonymised sperm and those, usually lesbian couples and single women, who want to buy it. "

2. I'm not even trying today....it's all BBC!
Gawd bless 'em...

Seriously though, this is an important story about how laws and regulations are being flouted to provide sperm without any control....

AND THAT'S MY JOB, GODDAMIT!

:evilgrin:

"Still Steamin' Pert Semen" - get it while it's hot!
