Looking to earn a quick buck, city students are going in for sperm and egg donation to supplement their pocket money
Looking to earn a quick buck, city students are going in for sperm and egg donation to supplement their pocket money. According to the infertility experts, increasing number of students, especially from medical and engineering background, are going in for sperm donation to earn quick bucks. They earn somewhere around Rs 3,000- 5,000 per donation.
Dr Nandita Palshetkar, infertility expert, Lilavati hospital said, “College students, especially the ones from streams like medicine and engineering, come for sperm donation. They earn quick money and there is a demand for sperms from such people as their IQ level is considered to be good.”
The proposition is lucrative, with donors getting anywhere between Rs3, 000 and Rs5,000. Dr Aniruddha Malpani, another infertility expert said, “Sperm donation is a lengthy procedure, unlike blood donation and a person gets Rs5,000 for a batch of 10 samples. One sample is collected every week. The person has to undergo blood test for HIV.”
Fertility clinics charge up to Rs2.5 lakh to provide sperm to childless couples. Sperm donation is also used nowadays as means to enable women who are either single or lesbians to conceive. Dr Duru Shah, infertility expert, said, “With the number of single mothers increasing, the demand for sperms has gone up.”
According to the IVF centres, the requirements can get specific sometimes — fair skin, good educational qualifications. Similarity in appearance to the recipient’s partner is often a criterion as well.
Egg donation too is picking up in Mumbai. While a man can earn Rs5,000 for sperm donation, a woman can earn more than Rs25,000 for egg donation. “While sperm donation has picked up in a big way, egg donation is just picking up,” said Dr Palshetkar.
Dr Malpani said, “Infertility is one of the biggest problems that women face today, with 10% to 15% of the female population battling it. Hence the dependence on donor programmes is growing by the day.”
