Sperm Bank Offers Stimulus Deals

Xytex International, a sperm bank, understands that the recession is hitting their customers in the pocket area, so they have started to offer stimulus packages. The packages seem to be purchaser oriented. Clients who want to start a family but are a little short on cash can now buy a vial of sperm at a $200 discount. Donors aren't being offered anything special like a room with chairs made from .50 cal cartridges, slippers that look like bear feet, or a TV with monster truck racing on continuous loop. "We're all feeling the effects of the economy and, especially for families seeking reproductive options, every dollar counts," said Xytex spokeswoman Danielle Moores.

No doubt start a family helps cash-strapped people

Fantastic, so the family a little down on money can get discount sperm to have a family. No doubt it's clearly cheaper to start a family when you're strapped with cash.

This is exactly what I was thinking. A $200 savings on sperm is negligible compared to the annualized TCO of a baby. I'm not saying that one shouldn't try to save money at every opportunity, but if hard times is reducing demand at sperm banks, it's not the cost of the sperm that's the issue.
