Swipe Right for Sperm
With fertility costs soaring, would-be parents are turning to social media to make a baby. But it's risky. We meet the women swiping right for sperm and the men travelling the world to donate.
You could be a scroll away from finding a sperm donor. But at what cost?
With fertility prices soaring and treatment difficult to access for some, same-sex female couples say they have little choice but to turn to social media to make a baby.
Social media groups and apps are fuelling a cheap, easy and totally unregulated donor market. But it鈥檚 risky: outside of a sperm clinic, there鈥檚 no guarantee of health screening, and you鈥檙e not legally protected.
And it鈥檚 not just a gamble for those wanting to get pregnant. According to the UK鈥檚 fertility regulator, men who donate sperm outside of clinics may also be breaking the law if they鈥檙e storing, processing or sending sperm.
But what do they think of this? Meet the men travelling the world to donate sperm, and find out what happens when reporter Gemma Dunstan tries to order a sample online.
