While this story has created quite the media buzz, Cryos is located in Denmark, where blonde and red hair, with green and blue eyes is the norm.
The agency director Ole Schou explained that they have all the redheaded sperm donors they can handle, and instead are looking for more "diverse" men to donate sperm.
He told MSNBC, "“What we need is brown-eyed Scandinavians/Caucasians and Mediterranean donors and other ethnicities and races. The problem is that we are located in Scandinavia and ‘harvest’ donors here, but we supply to more than 65 countries all over the world. They don’t always want Scandinavian donors out there.”
Schou also said that the sperm bank is in need of Black, Asian, Hispanic, Mediterranean and mixed-race sperm donors.
Apparently, it's all about supply and demand. Currently the "ideal" sperm donor's appearance is as follows: 6 feet tall, with brown hair, blue or green eyes, and a medium complexion.
Who knows what the "perfect" sperm donor will look like next year?
