A new mobile app has been launched that allows British women to select a sperm¹ donor² to father their child.

 

英国推出一款新的手机应用，让英国女性可以挑选捐精者以便生育子女。

 

London Sperm Bank Donors³, nicknamed 'order a daddy', lets women browse⁴ men by a series of characteristics including height, ethnicity and hair colour.

 

The company says it is the first such app of its kind, designed to 'address the acute shortage of sperm donated in the UK'.

 

Much like online dating apps, it also includes a biography of the potential father containing their educational history, job and personality traits.

 

To obtain a sample, the user must pay via the app, which will allow the sperm to be delivered to a fertility clinic of the woman's choice.

 

Dr Kamal Ahuja, scientific director of the London Sperm Bank, told the Sunday Times finding a donor will now be as easy as ordering from big retail⁵ websites.
