A sperm donor service aimed at matching women with anonymous celebrity dads – such as rock stars and famous athletes – will launch next year, its owners have claimed. Fame Daddy will offer would-be-mothers “top quality celebrity surrogate fathers” when it launches next February, according to Dan Richards, its chief executive. Prices will start at £15,000 for a premium sperm service from the clinic. The company’s website, which launched last week, claims that women can pick from a range of celebrated high-achievers when picking a prospective father for their offspring. The identities of each high-flying father will kept secret as the donors have been guaranteed anonymity. The men will also be required to sign a legal waiver of their rights to access to the child. However would-be mothers using the Fame Daddy clinic will be able to identify their area of achievement and other personal attributes. They can choose from donor dads who have excelled in a range of fields including sport, entertainment and business. The website lists a range of “sample profiles” of typical sperm donors, including an Oscar-winning actor, a member of the House of Lords and an ex-Premiership footballer. Last night Mr Richards admitted that the clinic has no real sperm samples “as of yet”. He said that the online descriptions are examples of the type of clientele that Fame Daddy “intends to attract”. However he said that the site’s register of possible donors already includes a retired ATP tennis pro, retired English cricketers and a multi-platinum recording artists. Mr Richards said: “We currently have about 40 people on our register of interested donors. Of course, until we have premises we cannot store sperm and therefore we as of yet have no actual samples. I am confident most of these will donate once we are operational.” He said that “l(fā)ike all licensed clinics”, information about the donors will be stored in a confidential registry “that can be accessed by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), who also manage our file architecture and data management systems”. The company is “confident” it will complete the four-month application process for HFEA approval by next February. Mr Richards said: "Our vision is to help women give their children the very best chance in life. "Whether it is talent on the stage or pitch, having a world beating voice, or just being very beautiful, Fame Daddy will have the perfect celebrity surrogate daddy." (Read by Brian Salter.

一家捐精機構(gòu)的所有者稱,該機構(gòu)將于明年開啟一項將女子和名人匿名配對的服務(wù),包括搖滾歌星和著名運動員這樣的名人。 據(jù)該機構(gòu)的行政總裁丹?理查茲稱,在明年二月啟動這一服務(wù)后,“名人爸爸”公司將給備孕婦女們提供“最優(yōu)質(zhì)的名人代孕父親”。 從診所獲得優(yōu)質(zhì)精子服務(wù)的起始價為1.5萬英鎊。 該公司上周剛上線的網(wǎng)站稱,女性可以從眾多卓有成就的名人中為她們的后代挑選未來的父親。公司將對所有名人父親的身份保密,因為已經(jīng)向捐贈者保證不向外透露。男性捐贈者還必須簽署一份放棄對孩子探視權(quán)的聲明書。 但是,使用“名人爸爸”診所服務(wù)的備孕婦女們將能指定未來孩子父親獲得成就的領(lǐng)域和其他個人特質(zhì)。 她們可以挑選的捐精者包括體育、娛樂和商業(yè)各界的精英。網(wǎng)站列出了一些典型捐精者的“簡況示例”,包括一位奧斯卡獲獎演員、一位上議院議員和一位前英超球員的個人簡介。 昨天晚上理查茲承認說,目前診所還沒有真正的精子樣本。他說,網(wǎng)上描述的例子是名人爸爸公司“意圖吸引”的客戶類型。 不過,他說,已經(jīng)在該網(wǎng)站注冊的潛在捐精者包括一名職業(yè)網(wǎng)球球員協(xié)會的退休選手、一名英格蘭板球隊的退休球員和一名錄制過“多白金唱片”的歌手。 理查茲說:“目前已在我公司注冊的有捐贈意向的名人約有40人。當(dāng)然,在我們擁有實體店之前,我們無法儲存精子,所以我們還沒有真正的精子樣本。不過我有信心,一旦我們開始運營,注冊的大多數(shù)名人都會捐贈精子?!?/p> 他說,“正如所有獲得經(jīng)營許可的診所一樣”,關(guān)于捐贈者的信息將被儲存在一個機密登記處,這些資料“只有人類受精與胚胎管理局才能查看,該局還將對我們的文件格式和數(shù)據(jù)管理系統(tǒng)進行管理”。 該公司“有信心”在明年二月份前完成四個月的申請流程,獲得人類受精與胚胎管理局的批準(zhǔn)。 理查茲說:“我們的愿景是幫助女性為自己孩子的人生提供最好的機會。 “或是擁有在舞臺上或球場上大放異彩的天賦,或是擁有征服世界的美妙聲音,或是天生一副好相貌,名人爸爸公司將會擁有完美的名人代孕父親?!?/p> 相關(guān)閱讀 (中國日報網(wǎng)英語點津 陳丹妮 編輯:Julie) |
