LONDON, July 2, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A British lesbian will become the mother of a baby conceived through IVF using sperm that was purchased on the Internet.

The mother and her lesbian roommate both paid over the Internet to carry artificially conceived babies from the same for-hire sperm donor. It cost $180 Canadian to search a sperm donor database. The pair selected a donor who was "quite tall" with brown hair and blue eyes, and then paid close to $2900 Canadian for "premium service" with full medical screening of the donor.

The selection of physical attributes echoes the race selection policies of Nazi Germany and other eugenics programs. "We just wanted someone who was in very good health," said one of the women. The baby is due in January.
