The taxpayer-funded initiative will enable women to search an online database and select a donor based on various factors including ethnicity, height, profession and even hobbies.
The bank will then send that donor’s sperm to a clinic chosen by the client for use in trying for a baby.
The Department of Health says the initiative will “meet increasing demand from lesbians and single women who wish to start a family without having a relationship with a man”.
The bank, which is set to open in October, will charge £300 for the service - considerably less than the private sector. Christian Concern.
