I was at a friends wedding dinner last weekend, where I manage to meet up with some of my school friends.  One of which has been working in this sperm bank in KL for about two years.  I didn’t even know and infact, none of us at the dinner know about sperm banks in M’sia till this guy told us.  His company would pay anyone willing, RM100 for a shot of sperm.  Qty can vary, depending on how much one person can produce per session.  And there is an additional RM100 bonus if the sperm count is high.  We were totally shock and was wondering how come we didn’t know about this earlier on, especially during our student days.  According to him, the company has been in KL since 1987, we were all like.. “what the”…

If only we knew last time, we would have made some good deal of money… hehe.. He was telling that there is this 17 years old kid earns RM4000 in a period of 6 months… wow.. This is a lot of money for that age.  This is a good side income, for those who are tight of cash… However, the clinic is not as what shown in the movies (Road Trip) or like US, all they give is one tiny bottle and you are asked to go to the toilet.  That’s it, there is not material aid of any kind.  You are required to either bring your own or use your imagination. 

These fertility clinics treats couples starting from RM10K and above, and there is not guarantee to conceive.  Bringing a kid into the earth is not cheap for some couples.  The collected sperms are screened, and “processed”, a whole deal of biological engineering at work, before being stored and sold to hopeful couples.  For the ladies, an egg is worth RM2000, very much more money, however, for the ladies, their eggs are limited, and if one were to sell it, need to think twice.  Well, if one were desperate for money, one may think otherwise.  Better than go sell “something else” or rob or steal or kill…

Some of my friends were thinking of going to the clinic, their rational was to find out how healthy are their sperms.  One quoted that there is 1:4 guys in Malaysia is infertile.  And there were 8 people in our table… which means 2 of us are actually shooting blanks.  That pretty much motivated everyone to go donate, not so much for the cash.. that was just a bonus.. but more to find out if the sperms were healthy. 

On this day..
