As the costs of IVF in the UK soar, many women are turning to unregulated sperm donation through Facebook groups, which has created a breeding ground for exploitation. Women like Christy, who sought donors online, faced alarming situations, including unwanted sexual advances and coercion into 'natural insemination' (NI). The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) has established limits to prevent donors from fathering children in excess of 10 families, but these rules are often ignored in online forums. Reports indicate that some men have fathered hundreds of children, with one donor claiming to have around 800 offspring. The risks are compounded by the lack of regulation, leading to incidents of sexual assault and financial scams. Clare Ettinghausen, HFEA's director of strategy, highlighted the role of social media in facilitating these dangerous interactions, stating that these platforms are enabling men to target vulnerable women. Despite the dangers, many women feel compelled to use these unregulated avenues due to the exorbitant costs of clinical procedures, which can exceed £1,500 for a single vial of sperm. The situation raises serious concerns about safety and the ethical implications of unregulated sperm donation.
