Students offered Australian holiday for their sperm
Male students at a Canadian university are being offered a free two-week holiday in Australia in return for their sperm.

An advert has been placed in the University of Calgary's student newspaper by the Reproductive Medicine Clinic in Albury, New South Wales

It's getting difficult to find volunteers in Australia because of a new law that says sperm donors can no longer remain anonymous, reports the Toronto Star.

The Clinic said they've had 15 responses so far. While donors must be willing to be identified in confidential records, they would have no legal responsibilities for any children.

1. I don't get it...
Why do the student sperm need a holiday? Shouldn't we be thinking about the students first, and worry about the sperm later? And what would the sperm be doing, I mean it's not like they make snorkel masks or skis for sperm, I mean really...
