A sperm bank in China is so desperate for donors it has taken to social media to call for volunteers to fill a shortage in donors and is offering lucrative cash payments for quality men.
The Zhejiang Human Sperm Bank, based in the city of Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, has repeatedly called out for donors during the past few months.
“Your kindness sparks hope, your devotion helps the future,” a Weibo post by the sperm bank said on Saturday. “We invite you to do public service and donate your sperm!”
An earlier post read, “Donating sperm is the same as donating blood, it’s a noble humanitarian act, it shows a whole new understanding of life.”
“We offer you 5,000 yuan (US$760), just to find the best batch in the city. What are you waiting for?” the post said.
The public has reacted with glee, making jokes at the rare sight of a sperm bank advertising on social media.
