Desperate couples are turning to Facebook to find sperm donors after the Covid-19 pandemic left fertility clinic stocks depleted and delayed IVF treatment.
One British donor claims he s received dozens requests in the past year - and while he donates his samples for free, he says other men are charging fees of up to £200, which is illegal.
Others request to donate their sperm naturally - via sexual intercourse.
International shortages of sperm donations due to lockdowns across the world is fuelling the online black market, which the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) warns is unregulated and carries significant risks such as sexually transmitted infections or genetically inherited disorders, reports The Sunday Times.
