Indian sperm hard to find, says world's leading sperm bank

London: The world's
leading sperm bank says Indian sperm is hard to get as India does
not permit sperm or eggs to be exported
An official at Cryos International said this causes a problem for
childless Indian expatriates, reported Daily Telegraph.
The sperm bank has also begun turning down red-headed donors as
there is little demand for their sperm.
Cryos's director Ole Schou said that due to an increase in
donations in recent years, the facility has become much more picky
about its donors.
"There are too many redheads in relation to demand," he told
Danish newspaper Ekstrabladet.
Schou said the demand for sperm from redheaded donors was mainly
in Ireland where it sold "like hot cakes".
Sperm from donors with brown hair and brown eyes was in demand due
to the bank's large customer base in Spain, Italy and Greece.
Denmark-based Cryos sends its semen to over 65 countries
worldwide.
