Curious sperm donors receive money for a new iPhone

Sperm bank lures: New iPhone 6S for 17 milliliters of ejaculate
A Chinese seed bank has come up with a very special action to "replenish" its holdings: It points out potential donors that they can buy a new iPhone for their ejaculate. In the past, a teenager had sold an organ for one of the popular phones.

Kidney sold for iPhone
Among other things, a dramatic case from the USA showed how dependent some people are on their mobile phone: There, a 12-year-old woman had repeatedly tried to poison her mother because of mobile phone withdrawal. But in other parts of the world - especially young - people are no less fanatical when it comes to smartphones. For example, in 2011, a 17-year-old boy from Hunan Province in China sold one of his kidneys for an iPhone and iPad. Seed banks in China now evidently refer to this and advertise with slogans such as: "You do not have to sell a kidney - there is a much easier way to get an iPhone 6S." And this through a sperm donation.

820 euros for 17 milliliters of ejaculate
As various online media report, the Renji Hospital in Shanghai offers 6,000 yuan (about 820 euros) for sperm donations totaling 17 milliliters of ejaculate. For this amount you can buy the new iPhone 6S in China. The donors must also bring appropriate conditions for this. The donor must be at least 1.64 meters tall and also a college, university or university degree is required by the donors. And of course, a medical test must first be passed.

Two to six milliliters per "session"
In a digital flyer, the clinic points to the possibility of being able to acquire the money offered an iPhone 6S with 16GB. The men have a total of six months for this, which they certainly often need, since on average per "session" between two and six milliliters are delivered. Other institutions, such as a seed bank in Hubei province, are even more aggressive in attracting potential donors. They point out with such slogans as saying that "you do not have to donate a kidney for an iPhone", indirectly to past incidents in which Chinese illegally donated organs or tried to bring the money together.

Sperm donation tax free in Germany
In Germany too, the donor receives a "expense allowance" for a semen sample. This varies depending on how to get there, the frequency of donor features and needs, and is often around 100 Euro. In general, however, you do not receive the full payment in this country after each "performance", but must submit several samples over a certain period of time. As with blood donation, the tax exemption for taxpayers in Germany applies to the wage as a sperm donor. (Ad)
