Sperm bank: Redheads need not apply

Stock of red-haired donors 'is about to explode,' says agency director

A top sperm-donation clinic has stopped taking deposits from
redheads, reporting there's a glut in the market. But since there
remains a big demand for tall guys, we bet they'd made an exception
for famous carrot top Conan O'Brien.

If you’ve got red hair, don't bother donating sperm at Cryos
International, one of the world’s largest sperm banks.
"We have nothing against red-haired donors," Cryos agency director Ole
Schou told msnbc.com Monday. "Our stock is about to explode. We have
just too many on stock in relation to the demand for the time being."
Demand for redheads is still high in Ireland, according the clinic, but
apparently it’s not enough to persuade officials at Cryos sperm
bank to continue accepting them. It has 140,000 doses of sperm from red
heads, and that’s enough.
Speaking from his office in Denmark, Schou explains the agency also
won’t take any Scandinavian donors for the time being â€"
unless they have brown eyes.

"What we need is brown-eyed Scandinavians/Caucasians and Mediterranean
donors and other ethnicities and races," he says. "The problem is that
we are located in Scandinavia and 'harvest' donors here but we supply to
more than 65 countries all over the whole world. They don’t
always want Scandinavian donors out there."
Schou later clarified to msnbc.com that the clinic is not shutting its
doors to all red-headed sperm donors -- the specimen cups are still
available for those with brown eyes. The issue for Cryos, Schou
explains, is too many Scandinavian donors have blond, middle blond, dark
blond and red hair, a legacy of their Viking ancestors who also heavily
multiplied in Scotland and Ireland.
The sperm bank is also looking for more Black, Asian, Hispanic,
Mediterranean and mixed-race donors, Schou says.
"Our function in society is to have all races and all ethnicities. Our
problem is that we have too many Scandinavians only," he says.

If you're a blue-eyed redhead looking to donate sperm, you're still
welcome at other sperm clinics, although you may be in higher demand if
you’re really smart, tall, athletic or musical.
Maryann Brown, chief executive officer of International Cryogenics in
Birmingham, Mich., one of the first sperm banks in the U.S., hasn't
experienced an anti-red bias. The clinic has "a good call for redheads."
Prospective parents often do have very specific requests when it comes
to sperm donors, Brown says.

When parents are seeking sperm, she says, they often prefer donors who
are athletically or musically inclined, and they prefer donors who are
educated. Sometimes they even want a specific blood type.
"Some people are very interested in their looks and even the shape of
their face, and how tall the family members are," she says. "They want
all kinds of ethnic backgrounds and eye color including green, hazel,
brown and blue."
