Sperm has become one of the hottest commodities being sold in Ghana and
many parts of the world. The target market for this new booming venture
are couples suffering from male infertility, lesbian couples, and single
women who pay huge amounts of money to access it.
“Selling of sperm is gradually becoming the new
business frontier booming in Ghana because it has many uses in today’s
society: making babies, sperm banks, and putting volume in limp hair in
order to make it long,” a medical student at the University of Ghana
Medical School,
who sold sperm five times to a Fertility Centre in Accra
for GH¢10, 000, told Economic Tribune (ET).
The medical student, who gave his name only as Mensah, said even though
selling of sperm was a risky business, it was also rewarding as well.
“I use the proceeds from this business to pay my fees and also support
my close pals. Who knows how long I will continue? But whatever happens,
I know I can look back on many happy families that I have helped to
create,” he stated.
Mrs Naomi Suame, a shop owner at East Legon and many parts of Accra, has
been married for 15 years and has two children, none of whom
biologically belongs to her husband.
“I discovered my husband was infertile when we got married after two
years. But I wanted to experience motherhood. I decided to have
artificial insemination. I have never cheated on him. I just got sperm
from a willing seller and got two healthy babies. Is that not
wonderful?” she asked. In the case of Naomi, she got a young man from
the University of Cape Coast, paid him GH¢12,000 and took his sperm,
which she used twice to get the babies.
“Sperm is one of the scared commodities for many of us. There is a high
demand for it and many young men are going into this venture selling
their sperm to help others, who needs it for one reason or the other,”
Naomi explained.
Investigations conducted by ET revealed that due to the huge capital
outlay of the process, women have now devised a way of beating the
system by getting donors (sperm sellers) whom they take to the Fertility
Centres for harvesting at a cheaper cost and then having the sperm
induced in their uteruses.
