Illegal trade in babies | The Daily Telegraph: The internet-based baby-making business has boomed since laws introduced in 2005 banned sperm donors from remaining anonymous.
Although the number of donors registered with legitimate sperm banks has fallen to just 20 - and waiting lists range from 12 to 24 months - dozens of websites and online businesses are offering the sperm from hundreds of men directly to women.
Australian authorities say the practice is dangerous, as no medical checks are performed on the donors, but they are powerless to crack down on the practice because the businesses are classified as 'social networking sites.'
