Sperm bank refusing redhead donors
In a classic case of supply and demand, the world's largest sperm bank is no longer taking donation from redheads.
Cryos in Denmark has reached its capacity of 70 litres of semen and a waiting list of 600 donors - so it can afford to pick and choose.
Director Ole Schou told Danish newspaper Ekstrabladet: "There are too many redheads in relation to demand.
"I do not think you choose a redhead, unless the partner - for example, the sterile male - has red hair, or because the lone woman has a preference for redheads. And that's perhaps not so many, especially in the latter case."
He said demand for sperm from redheaded donors came mainly from Ireland, where it sold “like hot cakes”.
