No. No, no, no.

Now coming, as it were, to a reality show near you

Sometimes you have to draw a line in the sand and say this far and no farther. Enough is too much.

Reality show for sperm donors

Billionaire television producer John de Mol, behind the pioneer show Big Brother, will test the limits of reality TV with a program in which a woman searches for a potential sperm donor to conceive a child.

His new TV station Talpa, launched earlier this month, confirmed it will air a program called “I want your child … and nothing else!” but gave no further details about the show due at 1830 GMT on Wednesday.

“The plan is that we visit potential donors and — of course on camera — decide which man is most suitable,” the 30-year old woman who will feature in the program said in an interview with De Telegraaf newspaper.

“Afterwards there will be artificial insemination,” said the woman who was identified only as “Yessica” and who has bought a house with a room for a child. [...]

De Telegraaf also published an email address for men wanting to donate sperm to Yessica.

On top of the questionable morality of the show, I understand that donors will have to provide their own hand lotion.
