If you were going with artificial insemination to get pregnant, would you buy sperm on sale? One sperm bank, the futuristically named Xytex, is banking on in it with their own version of a stimulus package.
Apparently Xytex has an overload of sperm from certain donors who are quite prolific, and they're looking to, uh, unload some of it. Vials of sperm from those clients will be discounted by up to $200.
"We're all feeling the effects of the economy and, especially for families seeking reproductive options, every dollar counts," said a spokesperson for Xytex, Danielle Moores. "Select donors are a new level of donor which we introduced to try to help our clients who are interested in third-party reproduction but, with the tough economy, are having a little bit of trouble purchasing a regular donor."
Is that something you want to tell the kids, though? "And then your mommy got them to knock down an extra $50 from the amount they were already discounting. And then nine months later, you were born!"
