Chinese hospital offers IVF for single women, allows them to meet, evaluate sperm donors
A private hospital in eastern China is under investigation for offering illegal in vitro fertilisation (IVF) services specifically for single women, allowing them to meet and choose sperm donors. The Nantai Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital, located in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, was shut down and is being probed by the local health commission after a media outlet uncovered its illicit IVF operations. Not listed among the official hospitals authorised to provide these services, the facility advertised that it could help single women conceive for a minimum fee of about 100,000 yuan (US$14,000). An unidentified doctor from the hospital informed Shandian News that the sperm is sourced directly from donors, who are primarily young men around 25 years old. The doctor explained that clients could select a donor based on various criteria, including appearance, educational background, nationality, and even the option to meet the donor in person. The hospital permitted clients to choose a donor based on various criteria, including physical appearance, educational background, nationality, and even the opportunity to meet the donor in person.
