Many singlewomen seek donor sperm

SHANGHAI A growing number of single women are interested in having a baby through artificial insemination, but are still banned from doing so, according to Chinese regulations.

The Shanghai-based Renji Hospital Reproductive Medicine Center reportedly has been receiving calls from local single women inquiring about having children through artificial insemination.

Many of the women, mostly in their 30s and 40s, say they haven't found a suitable husband yet, the Shanghai Evening Post reported on Friday.
