Sperm donor’s free offer - US man to give SA woman full fertility package
He has lost a child and wants this gift to go to a loving parent

A MYSTERY US donor with deep pockets (heh heh) is offering to provide his sperm and a free meal ticket for life to one childless educated South African woman. In an unusual way to deal with the death of his own child, a California businessman wants to give one South African woman a sperm donation and fertility treatment that will aid her in falling pregnant.

He will also pick up the costs of the international travel necessary to receive “high-quality” fertility treatment care. In addition, the man will set up a trust fund to help the mother and child live “comfortably, enjoy opportunities and lead a healthy and happy life”.

According to Assisted Reproduction Technology, a fertility clinic assisting the man, the child’s educational expenses “through colleges at quality institutions” in South Africa will be covered.

The man’s advert, which appeared on the gay website mambaonline, targets women who are single by choice, heterosexual couples and lesbians.

I've got an idea. All of Geldof's millionaire recording star friends should donate sperm and eggs to needy Africans, then in 30 years all of them can re-record the Band-Aid song and feel good about themselves.

That's a pretty fantastic offer. Any information as to why he's offering it to a SA woman, rather than one from any other country? Does he have a personal connection to SA?
