A Danish sperm bank has introduced a minimum IQ requirement of 85 for potential donors. This new rule has sparked debate about genetics, ethics, and parental expectations in assisted reproduction.
Setting a Minimum Intelligence Standard The Danish sperm bank Donor Network now screens donors by intelligence, becoming the first in the world to require a minimum IQ of 85. It also bars anyone with a criminal record. So far, the company has turned away about 18 percent of applicants who failed to meet the IQ standard.
The average IQ is about 100, and researchers estimate that intelligence is 50–80 percent hereditary. The bank’s director says smarter donors may give children a better chance at strong educational and economic outcomes. His goal, he adds, is to give single women and couples more confidence when choosing a donor.

Wouldn’t 115 make more sense?
Wonder if mine might get a premium price....I have typically tested 130-145 depending on the day and test method.....hmmm maybe some extra cash and more 13ks running around.....(sarc)
“...minimum IQ requirement of 85...”
That in itself is already low. It should be a requirement for voting. If so, it would keep out 90% of democrat voters. /spit
The Nazis are running Denmark.
No surprise. They loved Hitler.
All they have to do is test and throw away any sperm under 100 and keep their mouth shut.
Then half the kids would be Jewish.
Critics warn that setting high expectations based on a donor’s IQ may place undue pressure on the future child. For example, a child genetically predisposed to higher cognitive abilities might not have interest in academics or may struggle to fit into societal norms.
As the demand for donor sperm continues to grow globally,

I guess these two will have to find new ways to make money.
I agree. If the average IQ is 100, why accept below average? Doesn’t make sense. And the average IQ of a democrat is probably below 85, so that would prevent them from voting which would be a good thing. I can’t think of one positive thing they’ve done, since JFK was president.
Those Brilliant bastards!
Meanwhile, Somalis say: No worries on the IQ thingy. We’ll continue our traditional way of spreading our sperm among infidel women.

You are way smarter than Danish Sperm donors.
Another way to hit that 85 target.
Funny how you see the ads on that line and not the lines that serve working class and welfare class neighborhoods.
IIRC the ad says that you can earn as much as $2500 a month.
Seems like almost everyone wants a Viking Baby:
I am thinking the same thing. There are going to be a lot of caramel colored Danish babies born.
That or they just through the ‘diversity donations’ down the sink.... ewwww
Phrasing.....
