It seems a fair - and possibly fair-haired - number of single American women seeking artificial insemination have a decided preference for Nordic sperm. Unfortunately, new guidelines designed to prevent the spread of Mad Cow disease are derailing them in their quest to obtain it. I suppose they could just shoot over to Europe, or the men could shoot ... nah, too far, I suspect, Viking genes, notwithstanding.
Now, as the remaining vials of Nordic semen frozen in U.S. sperm banks are running out, a small but desperate number of would-be parents are frantic. Peterson has flown repeatedly to Denmark, and went again this week, to try to get pregnant with sperm from the same donor. Others are going to Canada or Mexico, or haggling with other American women who have leftover vials.
"I think it's outrageous," said Laura, a Los Angeles lawyer who asked that her last name be withheld to protect her privacy. She decided against paying a New York woman more than $2,000 for a few vials from a donor she nicknamed "Sven," whom she used a few years ago to conceive a son. A vial usually costs less than $500. "I'd love to give him a full sibling. But I just couldn't do it. It's so unfortunate."
"The demand was huge," said Peter Bower of Nordic Cryobank of Copenhagen, which had supplied California Cryobank. "In addition to being tall and well educated, their motivations for donation are quite sincere -- they want to help childless couples. They tended to sell out very fast."
It seems our American lasses have a refined taste for blonds, such as their Tahitian sisters had before them, but not for local blonds. Thus open is a new market here, provided contact it restricted to turkey basters. From what we see of the b---s of some of the young trools here, I can't say I blame the ladies.

I prefer a nice Kraut. Although, I hear they're grouchy and hard to get.

Laura could easliy have a family with full siblings. She could marry an actual man and have babies with him. And, just like on the televison infomercials, she would get a special added bonus - a father for the children. Try it, Laura, you dumb c---.
