英國：手機(jī)APP就能“買”爸爸

A new mobile app has been launched that allows British women to select a sperm donor to father their child.

英國推出一款新的手機(jī)應(yīng)用，讓英國女性可以挑選捐精者以便生育子女。

London Sperm Bank Donors, nicknamed 'order a daddy', lets women browse men by a series of characteristics including height, ethnicity and hair colour.

“倫敦精子庫捐獻(xiàn)者”這款應(yīng)用俗稱“訂購爸爸”，女性可以通過一系列特征瀏覽男性，包括身高、種族和頭發(fā)顏色。

The company says it is the first such app of its kind, designed to 'address the acute shortage of sperm donated in the UK'.

公司表示這是首款挑選捐精者的應(yīng)用，旨在“解決英國捐獻(xiàn)精子嚴(yán)重缺乏的問題”。

Much like online dating apps, it also includes a biography of the potential father containing their educational history, job and personality traits.

就像網(wǎng)上約會(huì)應(yīng)用一樣，應(yīng)用中還會(huì)列出捐精者的個(gè)人簡介，包括教育背景、職業(yè)和性格。

To obtain a sample, the user must pay via the app, which will allow the sperm to be delivered to a fertility clinic of the woman's choice.

為了獲得精子樣品，使用者必須通過應(yīng)用付款，這樣精子將被運(yùn)送到女性選擇的生育診所。

Dr Kamal Ahuja, scientific director of the London Sperm Bank, told the Sunday Times finding a donor will now be as easy as ordering from big retail websites.

倫敦精子庫的科學(xué)主管卡馬爾-阿胡亞告訴《星期日泰晤士報(bào)》，選擇一位捐精者如今就如同在大型零售網(wǎng)站上下單一樣簡單。

He said: 'You make all the transactions online, like you do anything else these days.

他說：“你在網(wǎng)上完成所有交易，就如同你平時(shí)做的那樣。”

'This allows a woman who wants to get a sperm donor to gain control in the privacy of her own home and to choose and decide in her own time.'

“這款應(yīng)用使想找捐精者的女性在自己家里的私密環(huán)境中，在自己方便的時(shí)間就可以作出選擇。”

But it has been criticised by campaigners, including Josephine Quintaville of Comment on Reproductive ethics, who told the paper: 'It's digital dads. This is the ultimate denigration of fatherhood.'

但也有活動(dòng)人士對(duì)此提出質(zhì)疑。英國生育倫理宣傳機(jī)構(gòu)的約瑟芬•昆塔瓦萊告訴報(bào)紙記者：“這是數(shù)字爸爸，這種做法是對(duì)父親地位的最大貶低”。

Women using the app can list the characteristics they most desire in a father and can set up alerts when an appropriate person becomes available.

使用這款應(yīng)用的女性可以列出最想要的捐精者特征，并設(shè)置提醒，當(dāng)有合適捐精者出現(xiàn)時(shí)她們就能收到提醒。

Among the anonymous donors are lawyers, doctors, engineers and actors.

匿名捐精者中有律師、醫(yī)生、工程師和演員。
