Well knock me down with a feather...
As anyone with reasoning power greater than that of, erm, a gnat foresaw there is now a national shortage of sperm donors due to the change in the law removing the right to anonymity. Twenty odd years ago a friend used to supplement his student grant by donating at about a tenner a go (I think) but I was never persuaded as I was not tempted by the prospect of fathering a child I would never know.
Above and beyond that, if anonymity has gone, the next step would be names going to the CSA. £10 quid doesn't seem like much of a bargain in the light of that possibility, does it?
And can we keep this 'PG', please.

apparently you don't even get the tenner now!!
You at least get a cup of rather ropey instant coffee and a biscuit if you give blood.
Being inquisitive, whenever I give blood I'm always hoping to see the blood bag, but it is always set up in such a way that you cannot.
just the pleasure of sowing the seed in some right on lefty who will forever wonder why her boy is so obsessed with fighting and fornication and not the needs of peruvian guinea pig farmers.Oh joy!!!
One more example of the bossy stupidity of the socialist. Did they honestly not foresee the consequences of removing anonymity? I mean, duh? Double duh?
Rigger - now that idea has legs, doesn't it? Meanwhile, I've occasionally wondered if Michael Gove's biological parents are aware that he is their boy.
PCF - as a friend of mine is fond of saying, the difference between sex for love and sex for money is that the latter is cheaper. He's still engaged though...
Verity - and doubtless the same bright sparks are appalled that anyone would expect to be paid for donating rather than doing for it the good of humanity.

You cannot buy happiness -- but you can rent it. (Horace, was it?)
Dear lord, such old school gallantry....
