UK: No sperm for sale on the Internet

New regulations covering the sale of fresh sperm will stop Internet sperm providers to sale their products on the Internet.

The Department of Health said tha they will not be able to sell fresh sperm direct and they will have to guarantee it has been screened for six months, just like the clinics. They will be subject to the same rules and will have to freeze sperm."

The online providers will have until April 2007 to conform to the new regulation and the effect of the new rules will likely be that such samples will remain frozen by female customers until self-insemination.

Get Free US and UK Telephone Numbers from Anywhere

Do you know you can sign up for a US and/or UK-based number that will route calls to your computer thru VoIP?

It’s as simple as signing up for an account with FWD, downloading a SIP-enabled VoIP client, and signing up for a DID (direct international dialling) account with IPKall or CallUK.

Here are the steps:

- Sign up for an account with FWD. Freeworlddialup will then assign you a “telephone number,” in xxxxxx format. This will be your SIP (session initiation protocol) number, which other VoIP users can use to call, via xxxxxx@fwd.pulver.net. If they’re using FWD, they just dial your number.

- Download and install an FWD-compatible client. You can use any SIP client, but you’ll probably spend some time configuring for FWD. I suggest you download a client pre-set for FWD already, such as Pulver’s own communicator. But if you want to go lite, download SJPhone instead (choose the one marked as FreeWorldDialup softphone. It’s free and it takes only minimal CPU and memory load. There are even versions for the PocketPC (yes, I’ve tried it and it works—I was able to turn a WiFi-enabled iPaq into a mobile phone of sorts).

- Sign up for a free DID number from IPKall (US) and/or CallUK. These services will assign you a US or Uk telephone number, and calls made to those will be redirected to your FWD number.
