A sperm1 donor2 service aimed at matching women with anonymous3 celebrity4 dads – such as rock stars and famous athletes – will launch next year, its owners have claimed.

一家捐精机构的所有者称，该机构将于明年开启一项将女子和名人匿名配对的服务，包括摇滚歌星和著名运动员这样的名人。
 
Fame Daddy will offer would-be-mothers "top quality celebrity surrogate（代理的） fathers" when it launches next February, according to Dan Richards, its chief executive.
 
Prices will start at £15,000 for a premium5 sperm service from the clinic.
 
The company's website, which launched last week, claims that women can pick from a range of celebrated6 high-achievers when picking a prospective8 father for their offspring. The identities of each high-flying father will kept secret as the donors9 have been guaranteed anonymity10（匿名）. The men will also be required to sign a legal waiver（弃权） of their rights to access to the child.
 
However would-be mothers using the Fame Daddy clinic will be able to identify their area of achievement and other personal attributes.
 
They can choose from donor dads who have excelled in a range of fields including sport, entertainment and business. The website lists a range of "sample profiles" of typical sperm donors, including an Oscar-winning actor, a member of the House of Lords and an ex-Premiership footballer.
 
Last night Mr Richards admitted that the clinic has no real sperm samples "as of yet". He said that the online descriptions are examples of the type of clientele that Fame Daddy "intends to attract".
 
However he said that the site's register of possible donors already includes a retired11 ATP tennis pro7, retired English cricketers and a multi-platinum recording12 artists.
 
Mr Richards said: "We currently have about 40 people on our register of interested donors. Of course, until we have premises13 we cannot store sperm and therefore we as of yet have no actual samples. I am confident most of these will donate once we are operational."
 
He said that "like all licensed14 clinics", information about the donors will be stored in a confidential15 registry "that can be accessed by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), who also manage our file architecture and data management systems".
 
The company is "confident" it will complete the four-month application process for HFEA approval by next February.
 
Mr Richards said: "Our vision is to help women give their children the very best chance in life.
 
"Whether it is talent on the stage or pitch, having a world beating voice, or just being very beautiful, Fame Daddy will have the perfect celebrity surrogate daddy."
