In a bizarre move, Pavel Durov, the CEO of Telegram has hit the headlines for his unusual initiative of bearing all the expenses of in vitro fertilization (IVF) provided the family is using his sperm. A father to over 100 children, Pavel’s move has been welcomed by one and all. His aim is to help families have children who are unable to bear children in the natural way.
Durov has teamed up with Altravita, a top fertility clinic, to provide free IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) for the families willing to use his sperm for child birth. Altravita, holds exclusive rights to store and use Durov’s sperm that it is a one of its kind offer.
The clinic will provide specialists in reproductive health. The interested women will have to contact Altravita for consultation, followed by a briefing of the procedure and conduction of initial trials. However, certain conditions like the maximum age for the applicants should be 37 and they must be in good health to ensure the success rate would be maximum.
In his Telegram channel, Pavel Durov had talked about him being asked, 15 years ago, by a friend to donate sperm as his friend and his wife were unable to conceive. Initially laughing at it due to his ignorance, he agreed to help after knowing about the procedure. Since then he had fathered over 100 children through sperm donation.
