Egg donor site dodges new laws

A WEBSITE which supplies sperm to lesbians and single women wanting to have a baby yesterday claimed it had found a way around new laws on donor anonymity.

From April 1, all sperm and egg donors will lose their right to anonymity, meaning any children born as a result of a donation can find out the identity of their donor when they reach 18.

This has led to growing fears over a shortage of donors and increased “fertility tourism” as people head abroad for treatment.
