Os bancos de esperma na Dinamarca estão a rejeitar dadores com base no seu QI?   Uma alegação online de que a Dinamarca exige que os dadores de esperma tenham um QI de 85 é falsa, embora um banco de esperma do país, a Donor Network, utilize um limite de QI.

00:00Do Danish sperm banks reject men with too low an IQ?

00:07Are you a man with an IQ lower than 85?

00:11Well, according to a post online, Denmark would block you from donating sperm

00:15because you're not intelligent enough.

00:17The post has sparked confusion, debate and memes

00:20after claiming that Copenhagen has brought in a minimum IQ threshold of 85

00:25to be a sperm donor.

00:27But ultimately, it's not true.

00:29What has happened is that a single sperm bank called Donor Network in the city of Aarhus

00:33has brought in the measure, prompting incorrect claims

00:37that this is the case for all Danish sperm banks to spread online.

00:41The misinformation seems to have emerged off the back of a November article

00:44by the Danish Broadcasting Corporation, or DR,

00:48which took a closer look at Donor Network and its IQ rule.

00:51The queue reached out to Donor Network,

00:53whose CEO said that he believes is the only sperm bank in the world with the requirement

00:58and that it also rejects those with a criminal record.

01:01While Denmark as a whole doesn't have an obligatory IQ requirement for sperm donors,

01:07they do have to go through a risk assessment and medical history review

01:10for any genetic risk factors.

01:13Other sperm banks have their own requirements,

01:15such as Cryos International,

01:17which says its donors must be between 18 and 45 years old,

01:21be physically and mentally healthy,

01:22and live in Denmark while donating.

01:25Cryos International also rejected red-haired men as donors in 2011

01:29because it already had enough supplies.

01:32But this ban appears to have since been lifted,

01:34according to the bank's website.

01:36Many online haven't taken the alleged countrywide IQ requirements seriously,

01:40but it has still raised some ethical considerations.

01:43Broad consensus says that while traits such as a parent's IQ

01:46can influence a child's intelligence,

01:49environmental factors play a major role

01:51in shaping a child's cognitive development.
