Redheaded Sperm Donors


Here are some news you do not hear every day: Cryos, a bank in the world's largest sperm stopped accepting "deposits" donor red. According to the director of the bank, they have a lot of stock and not enough demand, so they turn away ginger donor dads. Cryos, which is based in Denmark, but ships its inventory from around the world, a lot of Irish customers who want donor red, but otherwise, the demand is higher for brunettes with brown eyes (infertile couples, apparently chosen donors who are like bank and a large customer base in Spain, Italy, and Greece).

We never presume to tell parents who are shopping for material half of their genetic babies what they should be looking for, but we would like to make a case for more redheads. (And yes, we know that red hair is a recessive trait, but we will not belabor this celebration of red with a comprehensive explanation of Mendelian genetics.) Auburn hair is the rarest out there, and we all something to set us apart.
